But the initial headline on the piece, \u201cWhat\u2019s Wrong With America\u2019s White People?\u201d was a Twitter siren that quickly answered itself in part. A few of America\u2019s white people are angry, bitter, racist anti-Semites who aren\u2019t ashamed to spew hate all over social media.<\/p>\n<p>Glasser and Thrush were called \u201cJewish supremacists\u201d by @FashNova (fash, as in fascist) and \u201ctwo kikes pretending to be white\u201d by someone with the charming screen name AdolfJoeBiden. There\u2019s more, but you get the gist. Thrush tangled with some, let most slide and reported the person who combed his podcast transcripts looking for the places he had mentioned his Jewishness.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\" data-lang=\"en\"><p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GlennThrush\" target=\"_blank\">@GlennThrush<\/a> Why do you write about what\u2019s wrong with white people pretending to be white?
