Just like systematic/institutional anti-semitism is a myth. Actually if you live in Boro Park, work in Boro Park and have never left Boro Park, you might believe there is no discrimination against anyone in America (in Boro Park there is no discrimination against frum Yidden, and there aren’t enough goyim to discriminate against). You never applied for a job in which having beard and pe’os might hurt chances of getting hired. You never had to consider entering a field in which you were the only frum person. You never left out neighborhood. That method of avoid anti-semitism is similar to the reason many if not most Blacks in American prefer to live in Black neighborhoods and go to predominantly Black colleges.

You mean you never wondered if an African American professional you meet is truely qualified, or got the job only via affirmative action? You mean you never got nervous seeing a group of young, poor dressed, African American males walking towards you on a dark, uncrowded street? Did you ever feel uncomfortable traveling or shopping in an predominantly African American neighborhood?
