          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

              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.

                  Echo chambers are about media consumption, not friend choice.

                  You don’t have to spend time with horrible people. The only people who want that are the horrible people who realize they won’t have any friends otherwise.

                  Don’t forget the saying: When you sit down for dinner with ten Nazis, eleven Nazis are having dinner.

                    So now I understand why Americans think their fellow Americans aren’t the most evil pieces of shit. You live in echo chambers in real life.

        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.
