Makes me sad to see people acting like the simple act of saying “Jews” is offensive. We survived thousands of years of persecution, the fucking holocaust, and you think this is where we draw the line? Come the fuck on lol.
Are you saying this as a Jew or as a vampire? Or as a Jewish vampire? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HAom8ws8qp4
Judaism and vampirism have a lot in common.
- Existed since the dawn of time
- Universally shunned
- Forced to uphold their traditions in secret
When you factor in the blood libel, the connection goes even deeper.
Also the fangs. /borat
Lol’d
Really stupid question, but is the term “Jew(s)” derogatory in any way when referring to Jewish people(s), or should one say “Jewish person/people”?
Jew is the correct word to refer to a member of the Jewish faith. I don’t think anyone would suggest that it was derogatory unless they themselves were hateful toward Jews. It’s kind of like how people who hate Americans use the term “Americans” hatefully.
I’m not, but I have several Jewish friends. I also live close to rural batshit Crazyville. I can hear the difference in “Jew” when it’s said at the Jewish Cultural Center vs. at the townie bar with disdain, for sure. Hard R territory.
I stand firmly on the side of not stifling hateful use of “Jew” to avoid the risk of stifling regular use of it. They can’t make the correct descriptor of my identity into a derogatory word. I won’t let them.
Ok that’s what I thought, thanks!
You got it boss
If you don’t mind, we are preferred to be called “The Chosen People”.
Where do mods draw the line, tho?
deleted by creator
Somewhere beyond “offensive”.
That’s subjective and I’m asking where do mods draw that subjective line
those are jeakers sorry OP
Well you didn’t call them jews tho
Because it’s way too on the nose!
Nose! Is that antisemitism?
Ah crap. The torching resumes lol
Torching? Now that’s antisemitic for sure.
Maybe don’t use AI to make your memes next time and see what kind of response you get
Joted
if it makes you feel any better, i downvoted both of you (but this one is better because it seems to depict actual items, and not ai generated nonsense)
I’m sorry, friend! When I looked at this post, I thought it would be funnier if it was spelled like “jhoes.” I guess this one performed better because it eased people into it whereas you outright went there.
I think it’s because he just did the wordplay and didn’t ask “our opinion on” jhoes, which raises the jhoish question.
Joes, Gods chosen people
God’s chosen footwear
No, those are janclas

Yeah I was gonna but it seemed a little on the nose
This is anti-sneakerism.
“Go on.”
“…no. I sense I’ve made a mistake of some kind.”
That one’s spicy.
Why?
You ever had a jew in your mouth?
well, my last girlfriend was jewish.
not sure why this wouldn’t follow the standard naming convention and be “joes”.
Because that would be pronounced differently, wouldn’t it.
no
Joes?
Shews
I get the joke. I just don’t get how “Jews” comes from J + “shoes” without forcing the spelling, which is what I’m pointing out.
Phonetics
In fairness, English phonetics is just a dozen languages’ phonetics in a trench coat fighting about which way to go.
Obviously, but spelling
Here you go. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tori_Spelling
You got me lol!
As long as you don’t spill juice on them.
Are those the ones with the Hasbara insole, so on fleek.
Okay, time to wrap it up. This was the peak
We had a good run.
What if we ran with the Jews on?
👉 👈
I mean, it’s not inciting hatred towards or promoting any negative stereotypes about Jews, is it?
Sorry buddy, you said that word jew. That’s antisemitic.
Reminds me of a friend of a friend who thought calling people Mexican was racist.
If people call anything that mentions Jews as antisemitism then I think this counts
If saying neutral or even nice things about Jews is antisemitism, I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.

Antijemitism
I think the use of this particular meme format implies that asking the question is ridiculous. So I think he’s saying it’s not.
I agree, plus it’s a well made pun.
