[Avodah] The Chilul Hashem of Disrespecting Non-Jews

[Prof. Levine via Avodah]

This idea connects with something that has bothered me for some time: 
the wanton, unprovoked use of disparaging, racist comments among our 
youth. Over the years I have either heard directly or been made aware 
of many such comments by students. When I asked why they had 
expressed themselves in this manner, they could offer no meaningful response.

All I could glean was that they were apparently parroting similar 
remarks they had heard elsewhere, without having given much thought 
to their words. Many of these students had few if any relationships 
or even interactions with individuals from the groups they were mocking.
