    Never understood why Wandering Jew would be problematic as it’s simply a myth. Anyone tell me what I’m missing?

      Swede (not the vegetable) here. People with a victim complex will often take any reference to themselves that aren’t universal praise, as an attack/insult. Goes double for weird ethnocults.

        “People with a victim complex”

        Gee…I can’t imagine why Jewish people might feel put upon. Thank God we have a Swede who really understands oppression who isn’t afraid to stand up for naming plants after racist caricatures.
