>>>Being Jewish myself, I find this remark stupid, offensive, highly insulting and not at all funny even if you meant it as a joke. Unless you are Jewish, making Jewish jokes is a form of anti-semitism.

>I agree. I know Marcia, and I know that she knows that I am not a anti-semit or racist or discriminating in any way. I also know that the same can be said about her. I send this reply to you since you brought it up, if I had sent it to Marcia it could very well have been misunderstood.

>I agree totally, and I will stretch it even further. I think most people who call other people anti-semits or racists, way too often are the real racists. Asserting or hinting that other people are racists without any hard facts to support what they say, is an extremely cowardly action, and shows very bad taste and judgement.

How would you qualify a situation when this asserting and/or hinting is based on actual words pronounced, let say, on some public forum? Is it still cowardly and unfair?
