scapegoating is literally Jewish tradition. During the Jewish Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur, two goats were brought to the temple wherein one was offered as a blood sacrifice and the other designated the "scapegoat." Throughout the day, the Israelites confessed their sins to the goat, figuratively attaching them to the animal, and thereafter it was expelled from the community taking their sins with it.
Stop thinking I give a shit about who believes what. I just know idiotic prejudice and scapegoating when I see it.
