I Regret

describing the patrons of the Hebron Fund as being "overweight," by and large, and from the outer boroughs. Sounded more snobby than I am. And yes, prejudiced. There is some truth in the observation, but I should have done it in a neutral manner. I could have said they were somewhat dowdy, or were wearing traditional dress. Actually some of them were skinny. Apologies to all.

    Actually, the orthodox women often have their kids very young, so can be pretty milfy.

    We ignore SOG-type description, and yours was obviously not
    intended as actual critical analysis or rendition of the issues raised–unlike SOG's.

    The American (not just Jewish) poor and underclass are prone to obesity – this is a simple fact – nothing to apologise for.

    You often bash what you call parochials. Why apologize now?
