He looked at me and he said "Kosher food.... What exactly are you looking for?"

me: "Kosher food?"

him: "Exactly What is Kosher food."

me: (a little stunned and unsure how to answer) "Food for Jews?"

him: Well we go these crackers in.... (pointing to a display of matzoh I hadn't seen). Is there anything you're looking for specifically?

me: Well that's good (I hadn't seen the matzoh). What about gefilte fish, or borcht, or bamba, or....?

him: *looks blankly* I'm sorry I'm not very.... I don't have a very... broad... experience with....

me: (really uncomfortable at this point) "It's okay. It's okay really. It's fine" and I walked away (out of the store).

I believe the guy when he says he doesn't know what kosher food is, but he was head (?) of grocery, and even though he didn't do anything wrong, it was a lesson in how important understanding can be in making someone feel welcome/unwelcome.

I had this experience Saturday and I'm only now processing it.

I want to be clear that I don't think anyone in this story is antisemitic, but one doesn't need to be hateful to make someone uncomfortable, and that should hopefully be universally applicable.

I was doing very last minute shopping for Passover supplies, and we went to a supermarket in West Vancouver, the City Market in Park Royal. I went to the International foods section, there was no Jewish/Israeli section. No broths/soups/matzoh ball mix, borcht, bamba, etc.

I went to the Customer Service desk and asked, and the woman suggested I go to "Fresh Foods". I asked why fresh foods, and it turned out she had no idea what kosher food was, so she was guessing. She mentioned they had hallal food (which was good to hear but not what I needed). She called over (head of?) grocery and explained I was looking for "kosher or Greek food", and I explained no Greek, just kosher food.

And let’s also be frank,

Peter Dutton shouldn’t be apologising to just the Lebanese Muslim community. Most certainly one of the first. But also many others.
The many things he has said over the past two decades has cause unneeded anxiety, frustration, hurt and stress to many other ethnic communities in Australia.

"On this sunny day, standing on this vast land, I silently prayed: May this city shine with new brilliance through openness and inclusivity; may Chinese #culture leave a deeper mark on this land of #Canada. Let the idea of “天下为公” no longer just be a symbol, but a profound emblem of this city’s #multiculturalism, leading us toward a more #harmonious, #inclusive, and #just #world in the years to come."
