Wait...are Jews Baptists who can read or is it the Methodists? I am leaving out Catholics as their bibles usually have pictures in them so that kinda answers that. Just don't start knocking the Presbyterians as my people just don't think that'd be very nice and would get all disappointy on your ass.

As a WASP, all this ethnic irony is making me feel uncomfortable. I need cocktails, STAT, before I develop an actual feeling about this, or anything else.

@Fake Jew: What does your line, which seems like it wants to say more than it says, say? 'Convenient'? It's equal opportunity bashing and comedy here. No one gets off just by dint of who they ARE. Perhaps you've noticed comedy at the expense of The Gays and Femiladyists here too?

@Ibentmywookie: It depends. If you count Lohan and the Hilton clan, then yes, I suppose there is enough skewering of the white trash. And when Texas Anna passed, admittedly, it went off the charts.

Or how to use a cell phone. Or who you wanted whacked in the first place. Bummer when you get the address wrong.

The fact that this mishegas is following the Harry Potter / economics post while there was no response whatsoever to the epic circumcision saga certainly wouldn't say anything about stereotypical Jewish trigger points or priorities, however.

@OneHundredServed:

The humor would be a sufficient basis to convert. Try using sarcastic, self-deprecating humor if you're black. Non-blacks take your remarks at face value.

Weren't two of your MOT ex-staffers named to the "Forward 50"? Isn't that enough Jewish brownie points to make up for the Harry Potter post (which no one took seriously)?

@MrBemis:
Agreed. There's nothing pussier than a disclaimer. Although I recommend that Balk meet face to face with an Israeli Women's Basketball Team. This way he can politely explain the context of his remarks and ask them to suck his cock.

Truly, step up the Irish jokes and degradation. As a red-haired, blue-eyed, drunken mick, I feel very left out.

Maybe us Irish readers can step it up and start making jokes about ourselves in the comments. When we're not drinking, that is. Which I guess rules that out.

And, by the way, as Africans have suffered more recent enslavement than Hebrews, we must insist on a little more time to recover. Personally, I should only require sex with several dozen more white women until I feel better about things.
