Y'all killed Jesus. 'nuff said.
I will say that the prejudice that Jews were subjected to throughout history wasn't always unfounded, and is often perfectly justifiable. (not talking about shit like the holocaust, that' just redonk)
I'm inclined to agree with Drew, though, and at risk of inciting Godwin's Law, leads to shit like WWII.

Racism is the belief that one race/nationality is superior to another. You don't have to hate any race, simply liking someone more or giving them more handouts (jobs, promotions, free shit) because of their ancestry is racist period. From personal experience, it tends be be African Americans, Filipinos, and generally everyone one from the middle east or near including Indians, Jews, and Russians which are this way, and I wouldn't think for a second that they aren't racist. Its just the Jews the are nice to everyone (although they show massive favoritism towards other Jews) makes it so damn hard to hate them.
Having nay pride in your ethnicity, or heritage is just plain stupid. You can't help the color of your skin nor can you help what your ancestors did, you can be curious to learn what your immediate family did and some general history, but anything beyond that is just like drew said, sociopathic.

So your saying being Sociopathic and being Racist are one in the same?
Or did I miss that we are agreeing and saying its not racist ....lol

Agreed,
it's like being proud of guessing the result of a coin toss.
Lucky, sure, but not a matter for pride.

Ok ... so confused ....
NAY as in NO PRIDE or ANY as in you SHOULD NOT have PRIDE.
If you are saying you SHOULD NOT have pride then WTF! I am extremely proud of my heritage. My Great Grandfather on my mothers side founded South Street Seaport in NYC. One of my descendants on my fathers side started a village that is still going strong today. Thats not shit to be proud of?
The fact that my Grand father fought against the tyranny in WWII is not something to be proud of?

I'm so proud of my Dutch last name, I actually bought myself a Dutch nationality from a shady Dutch guy at the queue of a grill. I was so drunk I didn't remember it the next morning before examining the contents of my wallet and realizing I was a hundred euros short.
And the bastard didn't even give me a receipt.

You're mixing up two issues.
Giving hiring preference to someone of the same race, or treating someone of the same race preferentially compared to others is racist.
Having pride in your heritage, especially enough to refer to a far-away land as your 'home,' is sociopathic.

OK, thats what I was trying to clarify ....lol
Looking at it that way fine, I agree
Still doesn't mean it doesn't happen EVERY DAY. I guess for me its just a part of life that I grew up with. I am so used to it I don't see it.
Edit: Need to clarify my above statement. I am not saying I have treated people this way, I am just saying being from NYC and being around it constantly in various parts of the city you kind of become numb to it.
Fucking Jews

It was a typo - he meant to say "any pride."
You can be proud of your great grandfather having founded whatever he did, or of your grandfather having fought in WII, but that doesn't mean it makes sense for you to be proud of yourself for being vaguely associated with these things.

Ok ... yep totally agree
I am proud of THEM for their achievements, and their legacy. But for me to feel pride about myself for the things they achieved is just silly. Living up to their legacy and trying to achieve things like this on our own should be everyones goal.

To paraphrase a quote from MW2, "nationalism is the belief that your country is superior to others because you were born there." The concept of ancestors means nothing to me, I feel I have no more in common with my great-grandfather than I do with, I dunno, JBroll - traditionalist notions of "blood" are what keep so much of the world at war IMO.
Now feeling a connection with people because you all have chosen to believe in the same stuff and practicethe same religion is another story, of course, because it's actually something you had control over...

With all due respect GG, you didn't have shit to do with what your grandfolks achieved. So you've no reason to feel proud about it.
Love ya buddy, but I just don't agree on this
