But, here we go:
It is not a good thing to be 'in it for themselves' and to see Gentiles as 'to be used' - it is a pretty negative view-point to think that people are like this. It is also not reasonable to extrapolate from you your own experience, that because Jewish people that you know in this company are 'like that', then Jewish people in general are like that.
What you have done is to apply this negative view-point to a people, which is prejudice.Comment

You didn't post your original "and there's that thing about the Jews" to attack anti-semitism you posted it as an attack on me. That attack has failed because my original post was not anti-semitic and I add again that I am not an anti-semitist.
Now continue all you like but I'm going to leave it there.Last edited by Churchill; 8 February 2011, 15:31.Comment
