Come off it, Ferengi is a classic historic European anti-Semetic hideous grasping stereotype as one could wish to imagine: bulbous nose, whining voice, yellow skin, crooked teeth, bulbouseyes and so on it goes.

No I don't need to be anti-Semitic to *recognise* centuries of classic anti-Semitic European 'farytale' baddy imagery being echoed in the Ferengi. The Ferengi are very obviously a pastiche of a loathsome, yellow skinned, warty, money grasping Shylock - just bald and safely on a spaceship. Wake up.
