"Why are there no Jewish Alcoholics?"
"'cause it interferes with there suffering"
My Jewish pal whom I love dearly told me that, it's his favorite.
He says underdeveloped sense of humor is a epic problem in the uncivilized world.
I agree.
You and your friend are absolutely right. This hyper-sensitivity to our own ethnicity is a byproduct of political correctness which of course comes from the left.
As a Jew,I'll laugh as hard as anybody at a good "Jewish" joke. I think we all need to loosen up a bit. The MSM is always onthe lookout for some perceived or imagined offense directed at some ethnic group, except of course against Christians. Once again, it all comes down to politics.
