I'm Jewish, and I used to think that diaspora Jews were better suited culturally towards seeing the problems with xenophobia, given that we are to some extent outsiders in every society. I used to contrast this with Jews who grew up in Israel who had grown up as insiders, the ones who their society was supposed to be for. I can no longer do this -- it's clear that Jews in America have just as many right wingers as left wingers, and that people of all cultures are probably equally bad.
