I would say Jewish people in this context is singling out an ethnic group more than a religion.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

So bigoted stereotyping is ok as long as it's racist and not religion based. Good to know.

Wow so the new norm is you can’t ask an innocent question about any group of people?

You can. We just may point out that you are, in effect, making ridiculous stereotypes.

I know you had no ill intent, and the question was indeed innocent. I jokingly used crow as an example, but my point was merely that you're in effect lumping together millions of people who have a wide variety of cultural "idiosyncrasies" (for lack of a better term) in much the same way Catholics in Illinois differ in behavior and culture to South African Catholics.

Do Jews drive Escalades? Do Jews like like spicy food? Do Jews gel their hair? Do Jews have BO? Are Jews locksmiths? Are Jews obsessed with food?

Well, yes, all Jews are obsessed with food. I guess you can stereotype.

That's not a stereotyping question, that's a medical question.

Legit:
Are Jews more prone to breast cancer?
Nope:
Are Jews bad tippers?

well considering you're asking a question about skin coloring, I'm not sure grouping people based on their skin color is out of bounds for that question.

Cool story. I ain’t going to Hong Kong just for Kevin Hart tix
Yes, but it's a cool story nonetheless...

I wonder if you could hire someone on Fiverr to do this for you. Or a DDFer located somewhere across the world, for that matter.

This question is technically directed at one member specifically, but maybe some others can enlighten.
 @Onefishtwofishredfishblue , is the "blue" also a fish, or is it something else?
