Entry: A Nation of Anti-Semites? Fech! Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/a_nation_of_anti_semites_really#10524 Post contents: <<To see a nice summary of the difference between Jews and “white Christian gentiles” particularly of the Western European Protestant variety, watch the movie Chariots of Fire. Chariots of Fire won the 1981 Oscar at the Academy Awards as the Best Picture of the Year.>> I hate to sound "snarky", but reality is not found in movies. If you REALLY want to experience the difference between Jews and Protestants, ingratiate yourself into a private conversation with each group. Can't do that? Then you'll never really KNOW what they talk about amongst themselves. Really, I have NO IDEA what either Protestants or Jews talk about amongst themselves after supper. I imagine the Southern Protestant men watch wrestling, NASCAR, or, these days, poker on TV and remain mostly silent. Outside of the South I imagine the Protestants watch wrestling, NASCAR, or poker as well, but being more talkative - a lot of "jibber-jabber" nonsense, mostly...As for us Southern Catholics, I would say we typically discuss politics, baseball, football, broads (dames, whatever you call 'em) or alcohol; if the TV is on, it means there's either a football or baseball game. As for non-Southern Catholics, much of the same as Southern, except more talk about pro football and broads, less about alcohol. As for Jewish men sitting around after supper (is that what Jewish people call the evening meal? I have no idea...), I imagine they talk about politics, Israel, and money; they don't watch much TV, and if the TV is on, it's definitely not wrestling, NASCAR, but maybe poker (everybody watches that crap these days, don't they?), but probably CNN or CSPAN or something relatively "intellectual".
