It's not a racist comment. Jews aren't a race. Mexico has a barter

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.

These guys aren't going to kick my ass:

Vito, are you Jewish? Maybe the argument would best be solved by
asking the opinion of a Jewish person whether they are "honored" by
your statements.

No, but I very nearly converted in my youth before learning that Judism is
*almost* as nutty as Christianity.

I agree but instead of "a Jewish person" I'd prefer a comprehensive poll. I'm
merely saying that, IMO, phrases like "Jewing down" are more complimentary than
derogatory. A Jew I once worked with had grown up in NYC's garment district. I
wish I had his bargaining skills .... and sense of humor. I suppose YMMV.

Yeah, I'd like to be around for that conversation. Perhaps he should
travel to Israel and ask someone in the military. :-)

Plains Indians believed that the way someone thought about or saw anything said
more about him than his opinion said about the subject. That is obviously true
in our case. You see a perjorative where I see a compliment. Why do you think
ascribing something to Jews (or anybody ese) is perjorative whilst I see the
same thing as complimentary? Do you think that calling someone a Jew denegrates
that person? Do you think ascribing a skill to a cultural group denegrates
them? I do not.

Yes, most. So, you now believe that Jews who live in NYC are somehow
different than ones who live in Kansas?

Absolutely! Not only do I believe it - I know it for a fact. EVERYBODY who
lives in Kansas, or anywhere else, is different than people who live in NYC,
Jewish or not. NYC's unnatural environment warps ones sensibilities and thought
processes. Remember, when most Americans hear "NYC" they think "Get a rope".

It is NOT implicit in their religion. If so, please show us some
references to this in the Talmud or Torah.

I just showed where it is. That' what startd the discussion. Is Abraham
important in Jewish history? Did he not bargain God himself down from 50 to 5
souls?

Well, I really don't care what you think. It's clearly derogatory, and
I strongly suggest you keep your mouth shut when in certain crowds, as
you would surely be stompted into unconsciousness for your comment.

In NYC, the land where words speak louder than action? Bwahahahaha. Not a
chance. If I go to Boston I go via Minnisota to avoid the filthy place.

Forget it Jon, all wops are like that!

Doesn't offend me in the least. Ever hear our rendition of the 3 little pigs?
They're cowering in brick pigs house when he makes a call. Instantly a big limo
pulls up. Four big pigs get out, stomp the crap out of the wolf, put a gun in
his mouth and blow the top of his head off. Then they get back into the limo,
run over him a couple times, then drive off. Jeeze, says straw pig, what was
that. Oh, just our cousins the guinea pigs ....

Actually, I think Vito has it backwards. In much of the world, haggling is
normal and expected. However, the new testament is laced with unfavorable
references to the rich, and injunctions to abjure money-getting and refrain
from demonstrations of wealth. As a result, it's us Christians who seem to
be out of the mainstream.

I do not have it backward, Bobby does. I agree completely with the rest of your
statement. I merely say that in a world of bargainers being known as the best
is, or should be a compliment. "Jew down" is tactic recognition that Jews are
the best. I'm sorry if any Jews are offended by it -- they shouldn't be.
