And by contrast, I think this article will make my brain explode. At least it's laid out neatly.
To wit:
The word "anti-Semitic" was made by the founder of the League of Antisemites,
It never historically referred to any group other than Jews,
And none of this really matters because bigotry is still bigotry

Antisemites, of course, don't care about language at all…
