Jews upset about ‘anti-semitism’ on TV show

Oops, I guess a reality TV show just reflected the reality that the more people meet Jews, the more people dislike Jews.
If you don’t watch ‘Big Brother’ on CBS, you’re not missing anything. Every summer they trot this turkey out so we can watch hideous human beings compete for money while the cameras roll and host Julie Chen rolls her eyes.
This summer has been no exception. Normally, these people just expose their greed and stupidity. This is a group of people, after all, who in eight seasons have never cracked a book or discussed anything other than their appearances.
But two nights ago on CBS’ overnight feed on Showtime Networks, a player named Amber Siyavus Tomcavage stirred things up. The 27-year-old Las Vegas cocktail waitress must have forgotten that the cameras were on when she — under her breath — had a long discourse with housemate Jameka about “the Jews.” Her mother must be so proud.
The essence of Amber’s complaint? That Jews she has met are “bad” people, and you could tell them by either their noses or their names. MORE>>>
So, I dont see the big deal.
She aired an opinion. Is that so wrong. I see other races and religons getting pointed out, but god forbid we make a slur against the poor jews.
This kind of thing is a joke, Im sick of hearing about the ‘poor’ jews and how persecuted they were.
