This comment sickens me.

EDIT - I will always speak out against anything racial so that I never become a silent witness to a hate crime. However, thank you for clarifying your comment and best of luck to you.

I want to emphasize that I AM Jewish. I even grew up in a religious household. If you're too sensitive to something like the above comment, then you must really hate shows like "Curb Your Enthusiasm".

This is a text-based medium. We cannot hear your tone of voice, we cannot see your body language. It is therefore difficult for us to tell whether a two word comment is intended to be read in the style of Curb Your Enthusiasm (never seen it, btw) or Ayman al-Zawahiri.

I think Ayman al-Zawahiri would have something a little more strongly worded than "Jews pride themselves on being able to find good deals" ...

Whose name should I use to indicate genuine anti-semitism?

I love 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'. That doesn't mean I want stereotype humor here – unless it can be artfully deployed to add some unique new insight. (Many others don't grant even that exception for referencing stereotypes.)

Also, CYE's humor is way beyond recitation of cliched stereotypes; common knowledge of stereotypes is the setup, not the punchline. Usually, Larry's elaborate mishaps while trying to escape, reverse, or disavow stereotypes creates the humor.

So perhaps if you now go through comically absurd lengths to prove both your religious sensitivity and your essential loyalty to The Tribe, but fail miserably so that by the end of the episode everyone is against you – then you can use the "I'm just like Larry David" defense.
