don't trust Jews in New York

Wow, that's kind of offensive. I suppose in context it was in regard to their voting record, but still.

[tomymind]

Obviously it’s in context, no racism here. Last week, I met a dozen of Jews in NYC and 60-70 % are now voting for Obama, 20% will not vote at all, the rest is for McCain.

Yesterday I was at the local university for a luncheon. At my table was a PhD candidate for anthropology. He is writing his thesis on human behavior in current events from an anthropology perspective. He has spent that last year or so doing very clean research (from what I could tell) on what people are "thinking" about the world. He painted me a scenario that was both alarming and interesting. He thinks Obama will win and that the backlash will be Nazi, skinhead, KKK against the Jews for putting him in. He thinks the anti-Jew furor will boil over and be the focus of people's rage since there is not one other single group that can be pointed at as responsible or "they did it!".

I have no reason to doubt him.

Then read it in context. It wasn’t offensive at all in context.
