That’s a whole latte hate!
A Bushwick coffee shop is serving up a side of anti-Semitism — with the owner taking to Instagram to speak out against greedy Jewish “infiltrators.”
Michael Avila, owner of The Bushwick Coffee Shop, which opened this summer, claims the 378-word tirade he posted to Instagram on Wednesday came from a well-intentioned place and was fueled by customers complaining about rent and housing issues in Brooklyn.
His post, which is making the rounds on the Internet, was specifically targeted at two Jewish men visiting from Israel who were looking to buy a building next door.
Avila, 32, called them “rude and cold” and said the incident was the tipping point that led him to blame Jewish people for ruining the up-and-coming feel of Bushwick.
“Ok, what I REALLY want to talk about is how to consider the Jews (oh yes, let’s talk about it) who want a piece or all of Bushwick,” he wrote in the rant, adding that Jews “function via greed and dominance.”
“Bushwick IS rising and progressing, and bettering, but us contributing or just appreciating this rise and over all positive change do not want to be lumped with greedy infiltrators,” Avila continued in the typo-ridden and sometimes incomprehensible post.
