This is a question "Needless to say, I had the last laugh"

Celebrity autobiographies are filled to the brim with self-righteous tales of smug oneupmanship. So, forget you had any shame, grab a coffee and a croissant, and tell us your smug tales of when you got one over somebody.

Thanks to Ring of Fire for the suggestion

They might have given me a gobful.

I don't think that's him
I may be wrong but I think the post is to illustrate a point...- he's a nurse, not a student (I think), and older than 25...

Also he's much skinnier if the pics I've seen are to be believed...

It's interesting when people who have been insulted on the basis of their choice to follow a certain religion try to claim such insults are some form of racism.
In this clip the paper doesn't appear to have displayed such ignorance.

I think that Jews are convinced they are a race.
Is it not the case that different religions were differet races, to begin with, then the colour issue came up and overtook the original meaning?

I may be wrong.

Apparently the copper said "Jew hear that mate? They're all shouting at jew."

(sorry)

Semite includes all the Arabic peoples, or, specifically, the followers of Shem, but you may well be right it started off as racial.
But certainly now, saying "anti-Semite" in response to anti-Jewish abuse is as ridiculous as a white Christian claiming anti-Christian abuse is anti-Caucasianism.

It's not anti-Semitism, is what I'm pointing out.
I'm not excusing abuse; just filing it correctly - because - y'know - I'm incredibly marvellous/sad* like that.

Jews are a race, mostly, though
It's to do with the whole "you're only Jewish if your mum was Jewish" rule, unless you convert
(, Wed 9 Feb 2011, 9:27, closed)
Judaism is a religion, isn't it? Can't one convert to Judaism, and/or leave it?
"non-practising" jews, converts, etc?

That sounds like a choice thing to me - not a race.

For all my rather charming and conceited flippancy, it's important to delineate types of bigotry and not to over-use calls of it - something Sasha Baron Cohen highlighted with the Ali G character.

Inappropriate cries of "racism" and "is it because I is ... " lead to a "cry wolf" syndrome where such calls become background noise and increasingly ignored.

It's for this reason that people who make unfounded accusations are punished.

It's possible to join, but it's usually because the convert in question is marrying a Jew
Generally you're either born into it or you're not - non-practising Jews are people who are born into it but are essentially atheists

It's a murky area, but I'd say Jews are more of a "race" than Islams or Xians are

As I understood it, you can be 'ethnically Jewish' or 'culturally Jewish'.

How can one be "ethnically" Jewish
What with Judaism being a religion?

It's a region as much as a religion, i believe.
In Cheshire, synagogues are full of refreshing orange jews.

Well according to that, the "barrage of abuse" was mostly accusing him of being a tory
And the cry of "tory jew scum" that "a photographer said he also heard" could just have easily been the tail end of "you're a tory, you scum"

The whole story...
...was based on a lie anyway. The actual chant was "You're a fucking Tory too", not "Tory Jew", and nobody said "scum" at all.

I know, I know, I was as horrified as anyone to discover the Mail on Sunday might fabricate a story to fit it's own agenda. The very thought of a dishonest Sunday newspaper is just too terrifying to contemplate.
