An issue was brought up for discussion about Jewish people in the entertainment industry and look what the discussion has turned into: the mocking of
their heritage, practices, mannerisms, etc.
What does any of that have to do with the topic here? Does every discussion involving Jewish people have to be turned into a "let's all share what we
don't like about Jews and their religion" discussion?
- Most people like to complain, and they're going to complain about the things they want to complain about.
- This thread came up, and some people want to complain about Jewish people.
- Profit

I find the correlation of the elite and their religion interesting. People generalize way too much though. Not all Jewish people are the same. Not all
non-Jewish people are the same.
Incorrect generalization is dangerous and works against the betterment of the world. (i.e. prejudice/racism)
Although, not recognizing the seemingly intentional destabilization of the world is probably worse,
but everyone must understand not to blame
whole peoples indiscriminately. We must discriminate individuals and not adhere generalizations to races, creeds, nor sexual preferences (although
in this situation it hardly applies, but I'm sure there are some people that want to blame the homosexual population for the dollar crashing for
whatever reason that makes themselves feel better).
