Re: Racist or not?...you make the call.
I voted racist because I think people use it derogatorily. But isn't it really a compliment in that it actually means that you think jewish people are excellent negotiators?

Re: Racist or not?...you make the call.
Anti-semitic. Not even close. Heard the phrase for the first time in college, and as a jew was pretty pissed off about it. I guess that's one way to define racism, that a person of that race/religion/ethnicity feels insulted by the comment. Sure, some are overly sensitive, and this is not the best measure of racism, but I know few jews who would particularly like the phrase.
Oddly, my parents, who were always sensitive to any anti-semitism they saw, showed a pattern of using offensive terms to describe other ethnic minorities. Strange that people do that without getting the irony.

[ QUOTE ]
The people I know who use that phrase regularly are all Jews. [/ QUOTE ] That's pretty cool! Also, can't be bothered to argue this, but isn't this positive discrimination (I also can't be bothered to argue the good/bad of +ve discrimination). Isn't it like saying a Jew is a tough cookie in business?

I for one think that even positive sterotypes are hurtful. The fact is that there's a huge difference between South Park or Dave Chapelle being ironic about racism and language and some [censored] thinking he's being so anti-PC shock-jockular by slinging around some racial epithets that everyone has to laugh at if they don't want to seem like a wet blanket."Laugh at my lame socially awkward comedy jokes or I will act so self-righteous that you will vomit in your mouth!" Please! Leave the driving to the professionals... By professionals, I mean: OOTiots, of course. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
