Mono council weighs distinction between racism and antisemitism after minutes questionedJuly 30, 2026 · 0 CommentsBy JAMES MATTHEWSDo words such as racism and antisemitism have unique distinctions that need to be reflected in an official record of a town council meeting during which both forms of discrimination were discussed? Another question pertained to a past delegation of Mono residents who described to council experiences of “racism” in the town. “But it is racism,” Munro said then. He said the thrust of Munro’s question was antisemitism, but the meeting minutes indicated that the thrust of his question was antiracism. Simpson said he will bring the May 12 meeting minutes to the next council meeting.
