Hate- not at all. There is a lot to admire about jews. Growing up in a jewish town where the majority was jewish it's easy to form opinions that are bias because they can be bias too; especially when they are the majority. I'd get all fhe time "I'm better than you because i'm jewish" quite often and the fact that the majority of the teachers were jewish this went largely unchecked. These jewish students were the european jews, like mort from family guy. Therenwas a mass influx of israelies to my town in my junior year and I had a completely all together different experience with them. They were more down to earth and settled disagreements like men, even the women which was really impressive--instead of "telling" on you or some other less than admirable way of dealing with strife. But as I got older the majority of the clicky stuff fell by the wayside and you get to know the individual rather than the group mentality of the click. Not to mention growing up christian our church had all these fund raisers for israeal and what not, so at home and to this day my mom quotes scripture about jews and cursing them and you will be cursed, bless and you will be blessed type stuff. So, to sum it up, hate is a strong word. Yes, I've had some issues as a kid but that's to be expected and the same kids from back then I'm tight with now. Funny thing is, and I just found this out and it was a mind fuck is that on my mothers side she has askinazi jew in her which explains her shylock nose and the texture of my hair. Anyways- anyone can piss off someone I guess is my point.

I grew up pretty much the only Jew in my town and was the only one in my high school of 1400 until Senior year. It wasn't easy. When I moved away to college I did everything I possibly could to get in touch with my Jewish "roots". I visited Hillel, joined a Jewish fraternity, did what I could to try and fit in and ironically with the exception of a few, I didn't get to be part of that clique either. Hollywood shunned me as well... not even nepotism helped. So I pretty much reverted back to the people I ended up getting along with the most to begin with from childhood... combo of artsy, fringe, anti authority, and perverts.

It's an interesting theory. I first learned about it a couple years ago after Eric Garner was killed in article discussing whether or not there will be any long term implications for a group that has been forced to make ends meet (ie,'hustle) while on the margins. Garner if you recall was selling single cigarettes.
You can't argue that jews are not smart. Regardless of why, but that askenazi stuff also has a shit ton of genetic disorders from founders syndrome which is seen in the amish etc.

come to think of it i don't think i ever have met a dumb jewish person. and given that i've lived in manhattan for 17 years i've met plenty. i was raised catholic and went to cagtholic school so didn't really meet any jewish people until college and the only 3 jewish guys in my fraternity were probably 3 of the smartest guys in the fraternity. i've also found that israelis tend to be a bit more laid back. israeli girls are really hot too. interesting stuff.
I suggest everybody visits israel once in their life time...there is no question in my mind if they are racists or not...there will be no question in your mind either...
Human beings group. Dumb people (99%) hate people out of their group. Go to any country in Africa. Ask about the other tribes. You'll get an earful about how they are scum, and have too many jobs. People kill and torture each other over the pronunciation of a word, or a slight difference in interpretation of their cult.
There are Jewish people who are great, Jewish people who are bad. Same with every group.

Besides their name plenty of Jews are even not recognizable as Jews, so could live with people not knowing he/she is a Jew. For example, from your pictures, who could tell that you are different from non Jews?

Yeah I know I didn't look the part but I also had no interest in hiding who I was. I've always been outspoken, ever since I was in grade school. Not to mention I had a Bar Mitzvah and never celebrated Xmas or Easter... that certainly raised questions in small town 1970s and spreads quickly. Things culminated in 8th grade when in a public school choir I refused to sing religious songs. This made me unpopular but fuck it I didn't conform.
I swear that pre-war yugoslavia was more tolerant than any part of israel I visited...you will meet lesser bigots in a KKK march...I do not even look like an arab I look eastern euro all the way, I am neon white, whiter than any jew...

look up the classic psychology experiment: "The Robbers Cave Experiment"...
cliff notes: 12 year old kids from similar backgrounds were split into 2 groups, within a week the 2 groups began hating each other...
so it may not be just "dumb people", it's a natural human tendency...

Are you intentionally thick, trying to play thick or what? Do more research into your history.

Agreed woj but so is violence and superstition. The reason we have the internet and chocolate cake is some smart people decided to ignore those baser instincts. It can be done, it takes the capacity to recognize why it should be done.

denying who and what we are as a species doesn't make you enlightened. it just means you're naive about who and what we are and in love with a cute idea about how things should be.... even though its never and never will happen.
racism and hate is not as simple as teaching someone "they're bad" - though the teaching clearly helps. when resources are limited, when resources are in dispute, when one group has disproportionate influence over the resources of another and so on or even when these perceptions exist, people form tighter and tighter group bonds, in-groups to point at the out-groups and on and on it goes until tensions boil over. this is who we are as a species. this is what animals do.
all of our behaviors are survival related and the result of eons of group and individual selection. they don't just popup because someone got uppity and decided to start talking shit about another.
we're all just as capable of genocide as we are of empathizing with and helping others. it simply depends on the circumstances leading up to the event.
. Yes, fewer illegal immigrants working equates to more job opportunities for American citizens.
