Why kind of name is Hoffman
Indeed.
@Doc34 A very (((interesting))) name.
Welp. That’s my professors name
Fucking lol
jk
Phew
It's actually German.
It's an old German name.
Hmmmmm
@Doc34 I got you though. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@Doc34 Go the easy route and ask if race is a social construct. That'll see where the teachers leanings and how sane they are.
Indeed.
This poor old blonde woman has to look out into a sea of brown people. It wasn’t long ago her students looked like her.
Like most German names there are a number of Ashkenazi who took them on. Stein means "stone" for instance, but everyone associates that with European jewry.
Not really accurate or fair.
I’ll have to stay vigilant lads
tfw you were colourblind for most of your life
oh shit
@Deleted User I'm sorry about that.
Oh.
Lol. I'm not offended, it's just something to consider. Not every berg, stein or Weiss is Jewish
In fact most likely aren't.
Alright. Thanks for the tip.
My aunt - rest her soul - was a Berg by marriage only.
Jews took common names of host populations. Examples of this practice reach past even roman times
Yep
"for business" they'll say
"berg" is German for mountain.
@Deleted User So Iceberg means "ice mountain"?
Yes.
It's funny to think about it, a *real* jewish name. Like Schlomo 😅
not appropriated
Steinberg means stone mountain.
Nice.
That's an amazing name.
But I admit, I am highly sceptical of anyone with a name like that.
man of Hoff
duh
We're not entirely sure
