It's a racist comment... jewing down. Disgusting.
It's not a racist comment. Jews aren't a race. Mexico has a barter
economy,
so haggling is prevelant. So does the Middle East, where Jews originated.
I
believe the propensity for some Jews to haggle comes from tradition,
passed
down from their ancestry in the Middle East.
By most standards of definition in use today, Jews are a race. In any
case, it's a disgusting comment not worthy of additional discussion.
Anyone who uses such a phrase denegrates an entire people.
A person can be denigrated only by their own choice.
That's very philosphical, but has no basis in reality. Try that with
the wrong crowd, and you're likely to get stomped.
