Frankham:
While I don't want to dwell on Art's joke, for the record, I didn't say that the joke was offensive. I said that I didn't find it funny.

The depiction of any person dying for water in the desert, and then being turned away..I guess I'm too literal.

And yes, I suppose any group of people have to laugh at themselves..But I'll leave that for others to do. It's just not my thing.

Robomatic: I appreciate your comments.
Perhaps it needs to be noted for some who may not be aware, the referent "People of color" is a generic term that refers to everyone who is "non-White" and not just to people of African descent.

And "Coloured people" and "Black" used in the nation of
South Africa doesn't mean the same thing as what "Colored people" meant in the USA and what "Black" means in the USA now..

Sorry for this digression.

Back to the topic of antisemitism!
