Re: Racist or not?...you make the call.
I voted "not racist," but only because it is unclear whether Judaism is a race or a religion.
Maybe a category "not definitively racist" or "bigoted" would have been better. I would definitely have voted for "bigoted."

Re: Racist or not?...you make the call.
The amount of ridiculous nitpicking, lack of humour and general pedantry and retardedness in this thread makes me think 2 things
1. This should be in politics 2. I wish they'd implement an 'ignore thread' function even more strongly (and I felt pretty strongly about it after that bloody 'airliner on a moving runway' thread which kept going and going AND going AND going - like the easter bunny hooked up to 3-mile Island.)

Re: Racist or not?...you make the call.
Throughout history the Jewish people have considered their race and religion to be intertwined. Only in the more recent centuries have people of non-Jewish descent even entered the Jewish faith. Technically "Jew" is a race, read up about it. And this is racism, but i don't think it would bother me. The terms whitey, honkey, and cracker don't bother me at all. I think the whole thing of getting pissed off about racist remarks is dumb. I've been called much worse things than a slang term meaning "white", but hey, [censored] happens. Move on.

I voted not racist because "Jew" is not a race!!! Wow... it's a shame so many seemingly intelligent people have trouble using a dictionary. [/ QUOTE ] Being Jewish is far closer to a racial than religious thing IMO.

I guess since the Jewish people "considered" their race and religion to be intertwined that makes the whole "division of mankind possessing traits that are transmissible by descent and sufficient to characterize it as a distinct human type" definition out to be nonsense after all. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go "consider" my bank account to be $10,000,00 and buy myself a "considerably" large house.

Re: Racist or not?...you make the call.
I voted "yes" even though whether or not "Jew" is a race is questionable.
It's interesting that this seems a clear yes to me, but if someone were to say they got "gypped" it wouldn't seem nearly as bad.
