not sure why this wouldn’t follow the standard naming convention and be “joes”.
Because that would be pronounced differently, wouldn’t it.
That one’s spicy.
Why?
You ever had a jew in your mouth?
well, my last girlfriend was jewish.
those are jeakers sorry OP
This is anti-sneakerism.
Joes?
Shews
I get the joke. I just don’t get how “Jews” comes from J + “shoes” without forcing the spelling, which is what I’m pointing out.
Phonetics
Obviously, but spelling
Here you go. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tori_Spelling
You got me lol!
In fairness, English phonetics is just a dozen languages’ phonetics in a trench coat fighting about which way to go.
This was my reaction exactly. Scroe the haters.
Only when they’re sloppy

Makes me sad to see people acting like the simple act of saying “Jews” is offensive. We survived thousands of years of persecution, the fucking holocaust, and you think this is where we draw the line? Come the fuck on lol.
Are you saying this as a Jew or as a vampire? Or as a Jewish vampire? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HAom8ws8qp4

Judaism and vampirism have a lot in common.
- Existed since the dawn of time
- Universally shunned
- Forced to uphold their traditions in secret
When you factor in the blood libel, the connection goes even deeper.
Also the fangs. /borat
Lol’d
Where do mods draw the line, tho?
Somewhere beyond “offensive”.
Really stupid question, but is the term “Jew(s)” derogatory in any way when referring to Jewish people(s), or should one say “Jewish person/people”?
Jew is the correct word to refer to a member of the Jewish faith. I don’t think anyone would suggest that it was derogatory unless they themselves were hateful toward Jews. It’s kind of like how people who hate Americans use the term “Americans” hatefully.
I’m not, but I have several Jewish friends. I also live close to rural batshit Crazyville. I can hear the difference in “Jew” when it’s said at the Jewish Cultural Center vs. at the townie bar with disdain, for sure. Hard R territory.
I stand firmly on the side of not stifling hateful use of “Jew” to avoid the risk of stifling regular use of it. They can’t make the correct descriptor of my identity into a derogatory word. I won’t let them.
That is technically true, though the dynamic of pointing at and labelling a minority who have historically been subject to persecution is its own message on top of that. As usual, context is everything, and this meme depends on the reader being aware of the history of Jews being singled out for persecution for its transgressive frisson.
Ok that’s what I thought, thanks!
You got it boss
If you don’t mind, we are preferred to be called “The Chosen People”.
The brand hitler hated

Jods*

God’s chosen footwear

As long as you don’t spill juice on them.
I always knew this was the inevitable conclusion of this series of posts
I mean, it’s not inciting hatred towards or promoting any negative stereotypes about Jews, is it?
I agree, plus it’s a well made pun.
Reminds me of a friend of a friend who thought calling people Mexican was racist.
If people call anything that mentions Jews as antisemitism then I think this counts
Antijemitism
Jeantisemitism
If saying neutral or even nice things about Jews is antisemitism, I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.
Sorry buddy, you said that word jew. That’s antisemitic.
“Go on.”
“…no. I sense I’ve made a mistake of some kind.”
