4. I got it.

I’m not Jewish, and grew up in utterly antisemitic environments (Saudi Arabia). My father was One Of Them (Texas Aggie, racist, antisemitic, misogynist, child abuser). I toured Dachau at ten — not to learn, but for my father’s pleasure.

The film line he’s quoting is both relevant and (as he said) humorous. Monty Python was extremely liberal and educational — I began reading Jewish history because of it.

Anyway — that’s what’s up.
