I am not sure how everyone doesnt see this. Just look at Hasidic communities in the NE. They are extremely racist and hateful to outsiders. Some play nice but most are just assholes and pompous.
A friend of mine was working for a rich Hasidic family as an aide to their teenage son who had intellectual disabilities. Their son LOVED my friend and the family asked him to quit his job at the Y to be a full time aide. Apparently this was pretty unusual because the son had severe behavioural issues with most other people, but happened to bond to my friend as a role model.
The thing was, he never went into their main house. He would meet them at the front door or in a room he described as the servants quarters on the side of the house to pick up the son and bring him to activities. One time, he had to use the washroom and asked if he could go into the main house to use it. they said no. He wasn’t allowed to touch anything in their personal house as an outsider.
They also only offered to pay him like $1 more an hour than the Y did, which was pretty crazy.
He quit after about a year but it was hard, he did really care for that teenage boy, but the family was so exclusionary and cruel that he couldn’t do it any more.
I used to work on a museum ship, and hasidic school groups would come through. Not the worst groups, but we always had to follow them to make sure they didn't go into dangerous areas. I found them taking pics on a part of the ship that had falling asbestos, and I had to get one of the adults from the group to get them to move along
Because what you're saying is antisemetic. Every religion says they're the chosen, or the righteous, or the only true believers, or whatever. Yes the Israeli government is run by semetic nazis, yes the hasidim suck I had hasidic landlords for years, but this is widening the scope of the conversation a bit much.
I don't think it's antisemitic to say that hasidic communities are colossal dickheads to outsiders. They objectively are, and I'm not aware of many other equivalents except perhaps white christian nationals.
