That ain't kosher.
to me this shows much bigger problem, and that is that you can make fun of everyone, black ppl, mexicans, muslims, everyone, but if you mention jews its antisemitism. every.single.time.
It is a joke. A poor taste one, but the pic is selfware. The more outrageous stereotype is saved for last as the punchline.
Rscist joke? Yes. Did he mean it? Nah
Guy should be banned for posting a LADBible pic.
Christ, since when is it illegal to be offensive? (which the picture isn't, it's the opposite)
Political Correctness needs to die.

Antisemite... Oh wait.Someone should invent a special word for when you persecute Palestinians.
Long-standing stereotype that Jewish people are obsessed with money.
Isn't everybody obsessed with money?
so that's why no comedians are jewish...very few comic actors have any jewish heritage!

Well we do know that without the Jewish comment on this pic, there had been no waves from anyone.
It's kind of amusing seeing Jewish people getting offended by the pic and totally ignoring the sentence above the Jewish one...
I mean, man, you've read the text from top to bottom and you're only offended by the last sentence ?
Talk about selective racism...
Apart from the two last sentences, everything's fine and my opinion is that talking about clichés for fun does not have to get you to the courtyard and being called an anti semitist...
The last two sentences are the only two that are offensive.
All mexicans have moustaches and do manual labour work?
I apologize if Ive offended anyone. The post was meant to be anti-racist with humour. I now understand that out of context may have the opposite effect. Not all Mexicans have moustache, not all black people jump high and not all Jewish people love money. I used a cartoon done by someone else because it has Super Mario and I thought it was funny and not offensive. Again, Im sorry.
go find a black dude and a Jewish dude and ask them to jump high and grab you some coins respectively
let us know how it worked out
All mexicans have moustaches and do manual labour work?
You can make fun of Jews, just like you can with any of the other groups you mentioned, but to use one of the oldest stereotypes about us is pretty shitty.
All mexicans have moustaches and do manual labour work?
so it has to be a new stereotype? or something that jews think its allowed to make fun of?
i think you are wrong, because jokes dont work like that.
The pic says he looks like a Mexican. Mentions nothing about manual labor work. It's most likely just referring to the mustache. Hey, I'm Mexican myself. With how white skinned Mario is the Mexican comment isn't all that accurate, but I know what it aims for and can find the funny in it, no reason to drown in a glass of water.
Exactly this.The purple stuff added on by whoever at the bottom was clearly not as well thought out as the top part.
Balotelli gonna Balotelli.
On his FB.
I don't find it offensive, I just find it bizarre that that line gets ignored next to the last two.
Speedy Gonzales is banned in the US? Are there more old banned cartoons?Ah, okay! I can get where you're coming from, yeah. I always wondered why they banned Speedy Gonzales cartoons in America yet let Pepe Le Pew (another national stereotype) slide.

Plenty of white Mexicans... like a third of the population.The pic says he looks like a Mexican. Mentions nothing about manual labor work. It's most likely just referring to the mustache.

I'm not saying you aren't allowed to use racist/anti-semitic stereotypes in jokes, I'm just saying I find lazy jokes based on nothing more than racism or antisemitism to be shitty and I'm not going to get upset if people get called out on that.

The jew thing is the only one that's a blatant negative stereotype. The Jews have had to deal with ages of persecution and suffering in the past because of people generalizing them as money-hungry. The black people jumping is a stereotype, technically a bit racist, but not all that harmful. The Mexican one, well, I don't see how saying somebody 'looks like a Mexican' is racist at all. I think that's just our learned sensitivity to the word 'Mexican'. I mean, 'Looks like a Spanish person' doesn't have nearly the same offensive tone about it, does it?People upset over the jew thing, but not the "looks like a mexican" or "jumps like a black person". Ok.
