purple hair sarah- i like you. your honest. yes i agree, each of us has a some racial/discriminatory element. for example.... if you were white and you saw a white man and black man fighting, our natural instincts would draw us to the white mans side.

Envy, ignorance and fear are the reasons people slander others. Jewish people have a justifiable reputation for being shrewd business people - so, if you don't like them, turn that compliment into an insult by twisting it around. Happens all the time with all sorts of different nationalities and cultures. Mind you, I think the Jewish people have probably suffered the worst in the entire history of mankind for being persecuted and killed simply because of being Jewish. Look at what Hitler did to them. Yes, it's racist and discriminatory.
Then again, Scottish people are accused of being stingy and uptight too, but they just shrug it off as a joke - I should know because I am a mean, penny-pinching, tightfisted Scotswoman!

We all have comments on all races and religions, it's only recently that you have to watch every word you say or you could be done for racist remarks! I'm sure the Jews have things to say about Christians and the Christians about muslims and the muslims about ....well decide for yourself. Look at the broader picture though - there's mainly peace in the world and only a minority spoil it. I think its amazing how millions of people share the earth the way it was meant to be and live together in harmony. Think about the trust we hold in our friends and neighbours.

Anyone who can't assert a little self control over their spending and fiscal habits always say that Jews are stingy. I haven't got a drop of jewish blood, but I admire those people for their wise and cautious financial habits. If the Jews were in charge of the war funds and spending, we wouldn't be having congressional hearings over 132 million dollars wasted on frivolous items and overpriced contractors.

its not racist language at all, because it has no ajenda.neither does it seek power to have any control over jewish people.
The language is disrespectfull,and abusive,and I repeat is not racist.
"jews are stingy and uptight" is a saying that can apply to any human being on the planet,and it does in no way have any truth in it about jewish people.
the abusive language derives from, and has its roots in fear.
Jewish people dont play pop music chanting about adolph hitler, and german troops torturing jews,neither do you hear jewish people claiming they have cornered the market in being victims, they do not get any perverted pleasure from feeling like victims.
The jewish race is the most tenacious race of people in the world.
Working class people especially europeans are constantly being hurt, attacked, and damaged by taunts ,and underground psychological warfare that they are racist.
This is because they are easy targets,and it helps enable people to aggresively act out their seven deadly sins.
Just take a look at the way in which different goverments and terrorist groups seek to have power over others because of their race or creed.
Now yourself,and anyone who reads this has just been informed of some of the truth about racism.
I could write a book on the truth about racism but I would have to be commisioned.

blatantly. i mean, how many people really have even spoken to a Jew about money, let alone asking to borrow some?
it's because they work hard. Jewish people have the highest rate of self-employment, meaning they own their own businesses. Hence, maybe people who work for them can't get pay rises (like most businesses regardless) and choose the Jew thing as a invalid reason.

God's chosen people are and have always been marginalized.
So are true followers of Jesus Christ.
