"If you watch the clip, you can see Halle saying the word Jewish....[she] should be ashamed of herself!"
I'm not sure who is a bigger douche, the Leno audience member who said that, or Richard Johnson, who quoted her on Page Six, under the headline, "Berry Nose Better Than That." Are we really such a nation of pussies now? Someone says the word Jewish and we call 9-1-1? Excuse me, but my tribe has been run down by every small-dick thug since cro-magnon had his first bar mitvah. Halle Berry didn't urinate on a Torah. She made a joke and it was funny (and in this business, you don't cut funny).
If you didn't see it, she was showing distorted images from her computer camera and one made her look like she had a big nose, so she said "This one makes me look like my Jewish cousin." See? It's kinda funny. At the very least, it's cute. Laugh a little, folks. Lotsa jews have big noses, as do Italians, Arabs, Armenians, and a whole buncha other people. And big noses can be beautiful and they can also be funny (Jimmy Durante's nickname was Schnozzola). And Halle Berry, with her perfectly gorgeous nose, is funny with a big nose. Her Jewish assistant who first made the joke thought so. And on behalf of the rest of the thick-skinned Jews out there, I think so too.
You know, I was talking about this with my black friend today. Wait...can I say black? Sorry, my African-American friend. Actually, he's not African. Okay, my Jamaican-American friend. Does that make him African-Jamaican-American? Are Jamaicans from Africa? He's Catholic, too. Come to think of it, he kind of has a big nose. In fact, if he were white he might even look Jewish. Did you know Ethiopia has a lot of Jews? They have small noses. You've seen them before, the small-nose-African-American-Jewish-types? They don't look anything like my Jewish cousins. In fact, they probably look more like Halle's gentile-black-African-American-gorgeous-movie-star-cousins. Wait...can I say movie star?

this miniscule story IS newsworthy if only to demonstrate the inordinate pro-jewish sensitivity of the american media by its very existence.
That is a lot of pretentious double-speak to say, "THE DAMNED JEWS OWN THE MEDIA."
And it is both wrong and anti-Semitic.
Who owns THE media? The public. Apparently most of the media are corporations that are publicly traded on the NYSE. If you have a 401k or an insurance policy or are enrolled in a pension plan you, in fact, own a piece of the media.

By the way, tinky, the goal of the news media is to be fair and objective. As such, most editors and publishers try not to disparage or pre-judge any group because it would hurt their credibility and integrity.
Can somebody pleeeaaaase make a joke about the Dutch. I am feeling very left out, nobody seems to take the opportunity to offend me too.
O.k. Arjen. Heb je je klompen aan? Is je gele haar gekamt? Heb je je Goudse kaas gegeten? Zijn er not steed tulpen in de keukenhof? En wat doe je toch maar weer op een Amerikaanse blog. Dit gaat je helemaal niet aan. Boatsma? Nee, je misspel je eigen naam. Dat is Bootsma.
THE dUTCH sUCK!
Well, as Lenny Bruce used to say :jew jew jew spicspic micmic nigger nigger nigger kike kike
wop wop jew nigger spic....
I will wait for the defenders of Ann Coulter to lash out at Halle for "anti-semitism" !!
I'm waiting for the "I'm not an anti-Semite" crowd (Ghosts, Raise, Amanda, Boobaloo, etc), who would ordinarily attack Coulter for simply saying "I'm Ann Coulter", to write even ONE WORD of criticism about Coulter's anti-Semitic remarks!
(BTW, even if she had never uttered tose comments, I'd STILL think Coulter is disgusting and vile)
ha! Fantastic!
Newspeak is real people.
Welcome to 1984.
Gasp! You have a black friend? No lie? You actually know someone with black skin? And you don't know what to call them? How utterly racist of you! OK, so I'm only kidding. I actually prefer black American myself. I am part of that generation who helped wipe out Negro, which was slurred into the n word, which is now trying to make a hideous comeback. I would prefer that it did not as the slur as it was used against us will reappear. Just like the noose. I was reading a blog the other day in which the blogger said that conference attendees couldn't decide what to call the Hispanic and Latino population, to which I replied, why not ask them?
It's probably time for people to learn that Jewish people cannot be recognized by race. After all the the lost Tribe of African Jews has been accepted by the Jewish religion.
And do not forget the lost Indian jewish tribe and the lost Chinese jewish tribe.
I remember being in High School when an "ethnic survey" was done. My home-room teacher informed me that I had "made a mistake" by checking the boxes marked "Jewish" and "Irish-American", explaining that "there's no such thing as an Irish Jew"!
The only thing she should apologize for is ruining X3.
It was silly to even "report" this. She meant no harm to anyone.
i bet if she said arab nose no one would care, actually arabs' noses are as large as jewish noses. are we now ashamed about the noses we are born with? what about short japanese can we say migets are shorter than japanese or was that japanese are no taller than migets?
That is because Arabs and most Jews are Semites and are one and the same. I love it when the media labels some Arabs as anti-semites.
Some Arabs ARE anti-semites...I guess Sunnis are anti-semetic toward Shiites!What would you call the President of Iran???
But many Arabs (and Jews, for that matter) are anti-Semites.
Although the word "Semite" covers Arabs and Jews, the word "anti-Semite" applies to people who are prejudiced against Jews.
Here are three definitions of "anti-Semite/ism:"
Anti-Semite:
American Heritage, New College Edition: "A person who is hostile toward or prejudiced against Jews."
***
Anti-Semitism:
Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary: "(n) Hostility towards or discrimination against Jews as a religious or racial group... (adj) anti-Semite, anti-Semitic."
***
Wikipedia: "Antisemitism (alternatively spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism) is discrimination, hostility or prejudice directed at Jews. While the term's etymology may imply that antisemitism is directed against all Semitic peoples, it is in practice used exclusively to refer to hostility towards Jews as a religious, racial, or ethnic group."

Well the problem with Halle is that this kind of thing is a trend. Just the other day she had a picture of her rogering a goat and said it looked like her Scottish cousin. Honestly, as a Scottish-American, I just find that offensive. Everyone knows we prefer sheep.
Yeah, and the picture of her with her finger in a dike made her look like her Dutch cousin.
Happy, Arjen? Yes, it's lame but you people are so bleeping inoffensive - what with your tulips and your good chocolate and your tolerant culture and all.
Hmmm Netherlands WAS a tolerant culture until the new Muslim generation showed up and started butchering people left and right and threatening anyone who dares to oppose their narrow-mindedness.
RIP Theo.
i'd hate to be the only race on the planet that wasn't funny.
Berry really feels bad about this and you know she's genuine. She's no anti-semite like Mel Gibson. I'm Jewish too and I love Berry. She didn't. I feel sorry that she's getting all this stupid flak.
How do you know if she is anti-semitic or not?
Do you live with her? Do you spend lots of time with her? Do you talk with her on a daily basis?
You don't know if she is anti-semitic or not so don't assume anything.
This happens every time someone says something offensive about Jews - all of a sudden all of these Jews have to go out of their way to tell everyone who funny it is and that it's not offensive.
Ok, I volunteer to find out.
I hate it when people are stereotyped. Now with that said, I'm going to drink a quart of whiskey because I'm Irish.
Don't forget to slap your wife around!
You are not Irish, Dano. But go ahead and drink that whiskey, get real drunk and then come back on this blog. We are all looking for something really revealing about you. Moderate is not interesting. We want something crazy.
