In practice, the framework reduces humans to their various demographic signifiers, and it does so in a particularly chauvinistic way. The stereotypes that intersectionality requires its adherents to marinate in are uniquely American.

Now, apply this framework to American Jews. In the antisemitic imagination, American Jews are comfortable, powerful, and well connected. They enjoy influence and success disproportionate to their numbers. It’s a bigoted conception, but that is the point of intersectionality — to think in bigoted terms if only to understand and navigate what intersectional theorists believe is the fundamentally bigoted American landscape.
