It’s not very inspiring, but—and maybe my racism level just isn’t high enough—I’m not sure what makes it quintessentially “Jewish.” The vaguely apathetic fatalism?
I didn't say it was "inspiring". I look at it with some amusement as a window into a foreign culture.
The "maybe" at the end of a declaration allows avoiding accountability for the statement because it leaves open the possibility of being wrong. It's hedging language stereotypically used by Jews .
To be honest, I think of that as “stereotypically millennial,” or even “stereotypically modern.” It may have started with Jews, but it’s society-wide, now.
