[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems to me that there's a difference between a remark that stereotypes about an ethnic group, and a remark that simply states the obvious -- that they dress modestly. If the husband had said that the outfit makes them look moneygrubbing or pushy or bagel-eating, okay that would be inappropriate. But modesty is the focus of how Orthodox Jewish women dress. They cover their bodies and their hair. Why would it be insensitive to state that?[/quote] Because it wasn't a simple observation about clothes that Orthodox Jews wear. He was making fun of those clothes.[/quote]
