If you have had a 100% negative experience with working with a certain group, then I believe it i fair comment that you can express the fact you dont like working with that particular group.

Yes but you're a bigoted fool

Serious response: don't you agree people are people regardless of things like race? If you are talking about not liking people because of culture and it just happens that Jewish people and people with Jewish culture are very closely aligned, that's still disliking the culture not saying that because of their RACE they are dodgy - i.e. a white person brought up in the same culture would be 'as bad'.

Can you clarify because I'd say that if you don't fundamentally believe people of all races are the same, you're effectively a racist even if you haven't found a group to target yet.

FWIW I never understood why you both adopt the "he'she is nothing to do with me" line on CUK. You're married and weird as it is, CUK is part of your marriage (you poor thing).

Because it's hard enough to not be part of a "clique" on CUK without getting grief just cos we are married.

Plus he does say a lot of stuff I don't agree with ( astounding eh?!) and likewise, some of the stuff I say, he doesn't agree with. Trying to keep it a little bit separate is what we thought was best.

Has he actually said anything anti semetic or is this just another one of these memes that knocks around?

I'd always assumed it was a sick joke like the ones about Gentile's gender but CM seems to suggest otherwise, in some shape or form. I never saw it first hand though.

Does one have to target a group in a spiteful way to be racist? Could one not be kind and respectful to all while holding racist views?

I agree with you, UNLESS he thinks their faults were BECAUSE they were Jews.

wrong answer. sometimes culture can be the dominant factor.

If you came across a bunch of headhunters eating a missionary, and you went to do a poll to see if they were all like that
you'd end up with a boiled head the size of a shrivelled walnut

WCMS.

There's Real Life and then there's CUK.

Although I'm not surprised that many can't tell the difference.

A tack that wim121 often tried to maintain.

Haha, me, bigoted, with the posting history I have, wow, massive error of judgement again...

Now, re read what I said. If you worked for 20 years with jewish people, and had a hard time, all the time, do you think you'd be well placed to make a comment about how you feel about working with them? If I said, I effin hate working with Indians, woudl that make me racist, or someone that hated working with indians? If I said, jesus, every DBA I have met is a jumped up prick, I hate working with DBAs, would that be ok?
