Humans are stupid. They have to have someone to hate. Just calling someone a **** or a ************ just doesn't work anymore. So they attack innocent people. Give it 2 years and everyone will use something else

Well no one hates Gingers. It's a giant joke and no one should ever take it seriously.

Jews, on the other hand, actually have a lot of hatred towards them. It's mostly because they're successful, which causes people to hate them.
Also, Israel's war crimes do make a lot of people hate jews, even if they should rather be hating the Israel government.

Anti-Semitism is a hard habit for the world to break, especially when someone brings up the Israeli government's treatment of Palestinians and shameless violation of every US-brokered Middle East peace treaty (most recent example: the illegal settlements.)

I can't help but sympathize with the Palestinian terrorists and with Ahmadinejad. If I were in their shoes I'd do exactly the same thing. It's easy for us to sit in America or Britain or wherever and say "those damn dirty Arab terrorists", but racists like Netanyahu leave them no other option.

(edit: and as for gingers, they just repulse me. Purely aesthetic decision.)

Yes, it is annoying.
And then my parents say somewhat insulting things when they see ginger people.
I make them feel bad about it every time, as there is no logic to their hate.
I often wonder why there is so much hate...
Which is why I will never have a child. There is already so much hate and suffering in this world, why should I add to that?

I think it's because people who feel the need to make such jokes have a need to feel superior to those they mock. Either that, or they just don't think.

It just tends to piss me off that everyone thinks it's hilarious to make fun and discriminate Jews and hell while I'm at it, Gingers.

I myself am not a Jew or a Ginger, but it makes me mad that shows like south park and other forms of media make it to where they can form hatred upon one group of people.

At school or on xbox if something goes wrong, "****ing jew" or "you dirty jew".

Then there's the blatant hate for Gingers which doesn;t even make sense to me, they're people, they do nothing to harm you and neither do the Jews. yes the ginger kid on youtube kind of ruined his cause but let's pretend he never happened.

so I ask you Escapist, why do people hate jews and gingers? Does it make you angry? Or are you a part of the 12-16 year old angsty group who lieks to make fun of people for no reason?
I believe you're taking it a bit too far, not many people actually hate Jews though they may make fun of them, I personally find Cartmans antiques hilarious, and he is my favorite south park character because its fun to see what a manipulative greedy ***** he is (often the very thing he blames Jews for being). Don't blame South park for the hatred, only morons choose to hate for no particular reason and South Park just knows how to laugh at them.

After Borat came out people bitched to me to that it was incredibly racist against Jews, I explained to them that if anything it makes a mockery of baseless racists by showing them what morons they are.

I don't think people are serious when they say something against Jews or gingers, I think it's more of a joke.

Also, where on the Escapist do you find such discriminating comments? I haven't seen that in my time here, ever.

Well, racism is just a form of ignorance or a case of situationally forced tolerance.

I personally, have nothing against Jews and find gingers to be quite attractive.

Do they have souls?

Of course they have souls. But if they didn't?

Hell, that just makes them more attractive.

It's a show, South Park, obviously and it would be sad if people began to take their perspectives from such things. As has been said, before, though, it's become less about the racism and more about perceived derogation through use of the term.

South Park uses the anti Semitic opinions of Cartman to point out just how irrational, illogical racism can be and how hypocritical racists often are (Major Boobage when Kyle ask if Cartman can see the link between hiding cats in his loft as they are a persecuted minority and anything else in history), Woody Allen did a similar thing with his films although it was of course a lot more subtle.

The problem comes from young children seeing South Park because most of them will not be mature enough to see that the anti-Semitism is being used as a device to show how ridiculous racism is and so a kind of 'casual racism' seems to have sprung up where people use 'Jew' as an insult in a similar way to how 'gay' is used.

Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have a winner.

Jews have been hated since the birth of Christianity so I doubt South Park had a hand in that. In fact South Park broke the taboo by making fun of jews in the same sense that they make fun of everything. Joking about something means you don't take it TO seriously, wich is a good thing (depending on it's context ofcourse). I've seen almost every episode of South Park and I never saw anything that made me think they crossed the line. Even the episode where Cartman fakes Tourettes and says some extremely horrible things ultimately turns the joke on him and makes a solid point. This usually happens wirth Cartman.

As for gingers, I don't know. I just found the episode regarding them to be a hoot.

You have to ask us why people dislike Jews? Just Google Antisemitism [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism].

first of all, because they can. NO other reason covers it this well

anti semitism has been around a LONG time

and fun fact, and yes this is a genetic fact, gingers hold ALL of the recessive genetic traits, the chances of this being so low makes them unique, and therefore a target of ire

Meh i think that Calling someone a jew or really any sort of raceial teasing just helps to satirize the people who are actually raciest. I personally will freely us any politacally incorrect name for someone just because i find the whole multiple race thing a bit silly.
