Comment Re:Judge Judy is a TV judge. (Score 1) 313

Well Dave. The original question was "I am wondering what or who Judge Judy is". The response from AC was that:

  • Judge Judy is a woman
  • Judge Judy is a judge
  • Judge Judy is jewish (according to AC. I neither know nor care whether this is true)
  • Judge Judy is nasty (according to AC)
  • Judge Judy is on TV

All are valid pieces of information, and valid answers to the question, although clearly one of them bothers you.

I'm guessing that it's because AC used the description "nasty" in the same sentence, but then... are all religious people good? If the bone of contention is that the AC is somehow inferring that all Jews are nasty, then shouldn't we be standing up for women, judges and "people on TV" who will no doubt be offended because "obviously" AC is inferring that all women are nasty?

No. Because most people are intelligent enough that they will realise that AC was asked "tell me about JJ" and was just reguritating everything that he/she knew about her (including the opinion that she is nasty - not an unreasonable one imo). The type of people who would suddenly conclude that all women (or jews, judges or TV people) were nasty are chronically stupid, have likely been this way since birth and always will be, so you really shouldn't worry too much about them - you won't be able to "fix" them.

Sometimes asshats try to smear minorities by association, but this certainly wasn't one of those times and you're jumping the gun.

Calm down Dave. Good boy.
