    Where are black Jews being considered lol? The Jews I know don't speak well of blacks.

    Of course Jewish stereotypes aren't true. Stereotypes are absurd.

    Arabs are awesome. The Arabs I knew in university would run up $100 bar tabs a night on their U.S. govt. sponsored, King Fahd oil scholarships Federal stipend card. So long as I went with them so they could have a Westerner with them at the bar and blame me for taking them when their super conservative roommates threatened to call Saudi and tell their family what they were doing.

    This is not what I was talking about.
    I agree with you. I also have some Arabs friends, and I don't think Americans are stupid - I was trying to explain that stereotypes can't be true about a so many people only because they are Jews.

    Antes de subir al cadalso, Juan de Padilla se dirigió a su camarada Juan Bravo con unas célebres palabras: "Señor Bravo: ayer era día de pelear como caballero...hoy es día de morir como cristiano". Ante esto, Juan Bravo pidió ser ejecutado antes que Padilla, "…para no ver la muerte de tan buen caballero". Horas más tarde, también fue ejecutado y decapitado el salmantino Francisco Maldonado.

    Yes but there's one issue I take with this train of thought in respect to Jews.


    The Jewish negative stereotypes are everywhere, not just on the hard left or the hard right. They are in every culture, every business environment, everywhere. I've even seen Jewish people directly suffer in business environments due to their own stereotype as a crazed workaholic number cruncher. They are always the corporate go-to guy. The whole bank revolves around the Jewish guys phone-line and input. They work him like a dog, and primarily because, and he knows this, they expect him to as a Jewish guy. My boss at a financial entity I used to work for only took 3 days off a year. 3 days. He worked 60 hr work weeks. I once told him he should take his vacation days and that it was his right to do so. He paused for a moment in his office and then humbly chuckled at me and indirectly indicated that having vacation days doesn't mean you can take them. I suspect that explains why he never had a picture of his wife in his office, but who knows. Anyways it was evident in listening to the conference calls that he had to perform as the go-to Jew. I mean literally the CEO of the company cleared everything with him, and his input was expected after hearing any other regional offices ideas for dealing with case loads.
