"I KNEW you had to be a Jew"
date: December 10, 2006
Only a Jew would even think of trying to get away with humor like this. Not quite Springtime for Hitler or the inquisition song from History of the World Part I, but not bad. I guess Santa giving the bird wasn't enough to get across it was a joke. Maybe a song and dance number would've helped? It always worked for Mel Brooks. The gameplay was okay.
And everyone, this would more accurately be called CREEDISM, not racism. While it is possible to be racist towards the Jewish people or against Arabs, it is not possible to be racist towards Judaism or Islam, and certainly not against Paganism, as they are creeds, not races.
There are pagans of all races and Arab Christians and even Jews for Jesus. While racially and culturally quite Arab and Jewish respectively, the latter two Santa would give the present and not the bomb. Now, if you hated all Jews (or Arabs, Chinese, Italians, Kurds, etc), regardless of their faith, now that would be racism.
Where was I? Oh yes, creedism, good word to have in the vocabulary. If we're going to bitch on the internet, may as well have the proper terminology.
Author's Response:
That's the most intelligent thing I've ever heard anyone say, ever. Seriously though, I'm glad you said it because some people just don't get it. :)
