Also, Israel's war crimes do make a lot of people hate jews, even if they should rather be hating the Israel government.Stranger 517 said: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.
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.RamirezDoEverything said: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 don't think people are serious when they say something against Jews or gingers, I think it's more of a joke.RamirezDoEverything said: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.

Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have a winner.deedoubleyou said: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.
