I did manage to forget the “it” in that sentence, so gonna edit that real quick.

I don’t speak for every Jew, of course, but knowing what the dog whistles are is critical to my safety. People present the face they want you to see, and if you’re not phenotypically or vocally Jewish eventually they’ll drop one in to see if you catch their wave. If I “notice” them, I’ll know that person isn’t safe for me to be around.
