        It’s very possible to be a bigot with statistics too.

        For example, quoting a survey that says only 30% of Jews think isreal is committing a genocide, while leaving out the fact that 30% of ALL Americans feel that same way.

        So their religion and culture is statistically irrelevant. And the fact that it’s being highlighted is the bigotry.

          “A similar share, 30%, of Jewish adults say Israel has committed genocide, although about half, 49%, say it has not.”

          Seems like your reading comprehension is poor. Am I still a bigot? Jews are as dumb and evil as your typical American scum

            That’s exactly what I’m saying, though I’m less of a dick apparently. They’re exactly the same as all other Americans. So pointing out their race is only to push some racist agenda.

            Maybe I can help you connect the dots. See, I said all the Jews I know think it’s a genocide. Also, all the non Jews I know think it’s a genocide. I don’t surround myself with pro-genocide folks.

            I used the same statistics as everyone else, and the same tactic as the bigot I replied to, but I put a positive spin instead of a negative one. And a bunch of y’all told on yourselves by getting mad.

      Fuck… it’s a joke making fun of people who don’t realize that Israel ≠ all Jews

      Get the stick out of your ass.

        You need to work on your bit. A joke is funny if it is:

        • Unexpected and
        • You should have seen it coming

        Up-front bigotry isn’t even a joke. Bigotry only seems like jokes when it’s the punch line, because stereotypes take the place of setup for a joke to establish something that you should have seen coming. They take the place of a callback to something said earlier or a reference to shared experience.

        Jokes that rely on the situation of bigotry being expected are difficult and require much more effort or insight than “[identity] lol”. In other words: put your ass into your schtick.

        The thing about jokes is that they are usually written in such a way as to be humorous or obviously satirical.
