Why with all the Jewish Hatred?

[GiantRedButton]

the hate against jews is kinda a little older then southpark, its been pretty much permanent since the last 2000 years.
It only stopped being so intense after the holocaust.
So the question you should ask yourself is why people make so little fun about jews.
I highly doubt that southpark did it when its been around for so long.

I don't get the whole ginger thing btw. I know what gingers are, but in my native language we don't even have a word for gingers, so they aren't part of some sort of group.
Never heard anyone make fun of them.

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.

I agree with this.
It's hard not to hate the Israeli government for their crimes.
Though I can see the difference between the Israeli government and Jews in general.

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.

The funny thing is that Borat (Sacha Baron Cohen [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacha_Baron_Cohen]) is actually Jewish.

South park is the last place I would look for people who hate jews, crazy asshole on youtube is another matter, if i come across one more Zionist Plot to take over.....(insert anything here) I'll shot myself

 

[Maltyz]

I respect Jewish folks! They gotta put up with all this shit!

Damn, I thought you might've been referring to the legitimate negativity towards aspects of Jewish culture, not the hooting-dickhole culture of being cool by hating on Hebrews. But I guess that'd be in Religion'n'Politics rather than Off-Topic.

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?

Jews have been either hated or disliked by somebody ever since...well ever; why? Well that is a complicated question, but the whole 'chosen people' shtick does tend to aggravate people.

Gingers, certainly in Britain, have been mocked too for as long as I can remember; though its more common now. As for the why...discrimination is funny for the simple-minded.

 

[Duskwaith]

My friend hates them because they killed jesus. Well he is intitled to his opinion...

 

[Mucinex-D]

No one hates gingers. Its just a joke.

As for jews, well... thats a pretty old topic.

Go look up Canadian Kick a Ginger Day. It may be a joke to everyone else but they took said joke a little too far.

It's not our fault Canadians are all violent hate mongers.

OT: I think you need to stop taking this kind of stuff so seriously. It's all a joke... quit being such a Jew (that's a joke btw)... Okay but on a serious note I hate people who hate people making jokes about other people. If you don't have a good sense of humor about it, especially when you yourself aren't Jewish or a Ginger, you should just ignore it. I have a Ginger friend who I always make fun of and he doesn't care, why should you? He even joins in on the jokes saying he will eat my soul. While you're at it why don't you say you hate all the black jokes and Mexican jokes? If you look at stand up comedians who are black making black jokes, to a mostly black audience laughing at him, you can plainly see the only people who take serious offense to racial jokes are people with nothing better to do than find something to hate about.

This isn't always the case. If the word Ginger or Jewish is used in anger or violence than it should have a stop put to it, but I have honestly never seen someone call someone a Jew or a Ginger in any tone other than a joke.

P.S. Ginger kid rules!!!! I wonder if he has come out with another video yet.

edit:
Also as some people have said already. Everyone is made fun of, not just Jews and Gingers and they certainly aren't the most made fun of.

edit 2: When I say I haven't met anyone who seriously hates Jews or Gingers I was talking about in America and Europe. The middle east is a different story...

 

[Billion Backs]

I'm 18 and I like to make fun of people. There's always a reason. And offensive humour is great, too.

Jews were hated for, oh I don't know, a good portion of the past 2 thousand years. Why?

Religious conflict with Christians, mostly.

Where else do you think the whole "Jews are good with money" stereotype and it's derivatives came from? In Europe, during Middle Ages, jews weren't allowed to work aside from a few exceptions like money-lending.

And so on. Do you think Holocaust would have happened that easily without any previous, pretty much indoctrinated, hate for jews? Well, yeah, it probably would.

But really it's the same reason why so many people hate gays or see them in negative light somehow. At the root of the problem lies religion which seeps into culture which indoctrinates and inflicts all the stupid customs and shit on us all.


Also, gingers don't have a soul, because "soul" is an imaginary concept that doesn't actually exist. And gingers are fucking hot.

 

[OmegaXzors]

Okay, this topic is redundant in many ways.

First, racism will always exist. Don't try to fight it.
Second, what about all the "gay" jokes? If I value them more than Jews or Gingers, does it anger you?
Third, a lot of sexist jokes ("Get back to the kitchen!"). Are women that worthless to us? Are you all really as worthless as to say they're just for "sex" and nothing else?
Fourth, jokes nailed against Michael Jackson. I refuse to believe he was a pedophile. I love his music. Hate me if you want, but in the end I WON'T CARE.
Fifth, poverty jokes as to say "You're poor. You amount to nothing." Poor people contribute more to this country than rich do. Especially when it's a proven fact that middle class or lower donates more to charities than the rich.
Sixth, jokes on race such as African-American, Asian or Pacific-Islander, or Mexican. I've had enough cotton-pickin', small dick slingin', car stealin' jokes for one decade. You can all shut the fuck up.

You whining little morons are so stereotypical about things. Really? JEWS and GINGERS are SOOOOO important. But "Mr. Black Man, where's my cotton?! And don't you dare steal from my store."

No, this thread is dumb. Address all faults, not two.
/thread

EDIT: Ginger is a look. You people ALL make fun of ugly people all the time. Don't try to deny it. Jew is a religion (Peter Griffin says the only one with "ew" in it) and if Christianity is the "correct" religion, Jew = Muslim/Asatru/Shintoist/etc.

If you were in their shoes you'd purposefully break every chance at peace just so that your desire for genocide as a means of revenge for something both sides are to blame for (with the exception of Palestinian bystanders, human shields in the conflict who end up blaming only one side as well and joining the terrorists. Its an understandable reaction however)?

Its easy to point a finger, but maybe if you discovered your second hand you wouldn't be at a loss for who to blame. Yes the Israeli government has made some mistakes, but faced with the threat of genocide and on going war with terrorists who simply hide behind others...well, may I ask what you would do? I agree the settlement bullshit seemed off to me, every Israeli and Jew I know disagrees with that move as well, but as for the constant 'oppression' and 'apartheid' Israeli's are blamed for, If a man who's previously assaulted you hides his hand behind his back, would you hug him? I know its a far fetched example, but for the record... Israel doesn't hate Arabs nor love war, but it is in one.

Seriously though, I'd be happy to hear your suggestion. Supposing its short of 'get up, move out'.

I apologies if my argument has comes off as a bit heated by the way, it isn't meant to.

 

[Kortney]

Jews are hated around the world?!?!

BECAUSE OF SOUTH PARK?

Haha! Hilarious. Absolutely hilarious.

 

[Kurokami]

well seeing as the Jews basically run Comedy Central and all other TV stations and the media in general, their only making fun of themselves. So if your a Jew and south park offends you with their Jew jokes, just remember this: its one of you own kind that's doing that for a couple of bucks.

I think they're doing it for laughs and a shitload of money, actually. Also, I'm sure by saying 'one of your own kind' you meant only in relevance to your post, however not many Jews (or I assume any other race to be honest) would appreciate it as Jews come about as varied as the colors of the rainbow painted by a schizophrenic on crack. Technically, religion isn't even always shared if you consider that many Jews are atheist, and that its often simply hereditary.

(No offense intended to Schizophrenics by the way, though I don't see why that would be offensive, inaccurate perhaps)

 

[quiet_samurai]

Maybe it's because a Ginger will take your soul and then sell it to his Jew master for gold.

Stereotypes exhist for a reason you know....

Ot: And no... it's not because of South Park. Jew have been segeregated for oh about 2500 years or so. And the ginger thing..... well it's just funny. The reason there are so many things fucked up in the world is because people take shit too seriously... learn to laugh a little.

 

[klakkat]

South Park, basically.
Jews and ginger jokes are many in that show.

And most of them from Cartman, who is an admitted racist, bigot asshole. The show pretty much builds him up as the character you're not supposed to emulate.

Indeed. But, this is today's society, and people generally find him the funniest. I guess they just want to be funny too.

That is true. He is probably the most well-known, and is fairly popular despite (or maybe because) he has a slew of social disorders.

 

[Kelbear]

Jeezus christ, are you guys so young that your concept of history doesn't extend past SOUTH PARK!?

Jews have been hated going back for centuries. The reasons for the hate go back for centuries and have numerous potential origins (tax collection, property rights, plagues, catholicism, foreigners, etc.)

South Park makes fun of them as a joke because nobody really believes that stuff today.
