-- Posted by The Last Magister at 2:56 pm on Sep. 22, 2008 In Euro we were having a discussion, and the teacher asked, "What did some people think some causes were?" and one of the students replied "They blamed the Jews and beat up and killed some of them for it." then the teacher replied, "Yeah, kill the Jews, nothing new to us, any other reasons?" And I burst out laughing. It wasn't so much about the Jews as it was the way he said it and the context, because most of the way he speaks is monotone, and just hearing it that way was ROFL. Another student looks all offended(not even Jewish, Polish actually) and said, "Wow, you are so mean." But then my friend, who is Jewish, said, "What are you talking about? I thought it was funny too." The teacher didn't seem to lean one way or the other. So in your opinion, does it make me racist? I'd say no, but a few people after class told me I was. -- Posted by draino at 2:56 pm on Sep. 22, 2008 no -- Posted by ManiacPenguins at 2:56 pm on Sep. 22, 2008 The jews are not a race. So no, it's not RACIST. -- Posted by Bearsy at 2:57 pm on Sep. 22, 2008 That does sound kinda funny, was he cracking a joke? It might be deadpan humor. -- Posted by Epic Gnome at 2:57 pm on Sep. 22, 2008 LMAO homie -- Posted by Ancient Rights at 2:57 pm on Sep. 22, 2008 I'd say no. -- Posted by loms30506 at 2:57 pm on Sep. 22, 2008 No? -- Posted by Molfsontan at 2:57 pm on Sep. 22, 2008 Quote: from ManiacPenguins at 5:56 pm on Sep. 22, 2008 The jews are not a race.

Thats what I was thinking. -- Posted by kidd rune at 4:21 pm on Sep. 22, 2008 No -- Posted by tigard at 4:40 pm on Sep. 23, 2008 It sounds like you laughed at the *way* something was said, or the wording, not the concept expressed.  That's not racist or antisemetic. -- Posted by jakelong at 8:42 pm on Sep. 23, 2008 Um no. You just reacted to the way the teacher said stuff. I bet the one who said you were mean wasn't even folloing what was going on. -- Posted by classicalandrew at 8:58 pm on Sep. 23, 2008 bahaha thats not racist at all its just the ridiculousness that made you laugh
