Borat/Jew
 
I don't know if it's just me and where I live, but loads of people are obsessed with making jokes about Jews, calling everything "Jewish" etc. since Borat was released. I realise that the man himself is Jewish, but d'you feel that Borat has created a lot of stereotypes, even though most people can see that it's not meant to be taken seriously?


I didn't put this under debates because it's not really something that can be argued, it's more of a closed question with the chance to extend your answer if it's yes :P

Yeah its a craze over here aswell. The latest craze of insults is 'you jew'
Its quite amusing, but it could offend someone.

Ruth*Star 07-06-2007 08:30 PM

We haven't had the Jew craze here but why would someone come up with a insult like that lol.

Princess 07-06-2007 08:41 PM

thats been around for ages - well when i was in school

Ella 07-06-2007 08:48 PM

Yeah Simons right....Ive heard that saying since for years, Since i was in year 8-9 at Secondary school. I think most people take it as a joke and just laugh it off, I know I do.

MarkWaldorf 07-06-2007 08:54 PM

Here too as well, I can't remember many of the jokes, but they're quite offensive. There are Jewish people in my school who don't like it, but there's not much they can 'bout it.

I hate Sacha Baron Cohen, in all his forms.
He is just offensive.

"Is it cos i iz black"

The Jew insult has been around for ages.
Borat is a fun movie and shouldn't be taken seriously.

yea its stupid

cgimusic 11-06-2007 09:49 PM

We have the craze here but it is really old and Borat was only playing off pre-existing stereotypes.

rex3 13-07-2007 01:58 PM

I didn't find Borat funny

Stu 13-07-2007 02:10 PM

South Park that started that fad roughly TEN YEARS before the borat movie.

Lauren 13-07-2007 02:28 PM

It's old, and crap. If someone called me a Jew I'd laugh in their face for failing at life.

You big jew. :wink:
You big failure. :wink:

Also, just realised... "arab" is also used as an insult against people. Some people are just ignorant.

rex3 13-07-2007 04:32 PM

people who call names like you Arab, generally cant argue in other way

Will© 13-07-2007 04:36 PM

yeah people do seem to make fun of jews

i dont think they realise the only reason the man that plays borat get a way with it is because he is a jew

people moan about black people, notably hip hop artists calling them selves the N-word, he shouldn't really take the piss out of jews just becuase he is jewish
