[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My college roommate is Jewish.  Always wishes me happiness on a Christian holiday.  I’m not offended.  What’s the difference?[/quote]

The difference is that it is expected of  Americans to wish people well on Christian holidays. We live in a Christian country after all.[/quote]

Nope!
Christianity is popular, but not a Christian country. Just a lot of Christians, some of whom like to violate the Constitution.

But Jews run the country  :mrgreen: [/quote]
This is not funny, even as a joke.[/quote]

If someone Jewish says this, it's funny. If someone non-Jewish says this, it's not funny.

I actually think Jews should stop saying this as a joke because it's not helping anything. It gets harder to tell people "that's not funny" when Jews say it as a joke often, including in settings where the audience is mostly or potentially not at all Jewish. You want to make that joke to your Jewish family in private, go ahead. You want to make that joke on Facebook, to your group of mostly non-Jewish friends, or as a punchline said by a Jewish character in a mainstream movie? Well great, you've just normalized it as "a joke" to lots of people who will enjoy how blurry that line is.

This is a good point. Not to mention (small tangent) that you can always find some Jews or former Jews somewhere to validate antiJewish opinions. N.B. the "my Jewish husband doesn't care about that stuff" brigade on DCUM![/quote]
2 Jews, 3 opinions![/quote]
