Joking that Hebrews have big noses is “Anti-Semitic”?
Let’s not jump the gun.

Doesn’t sound anti-Semitic to me, sounds just like the kind of things us Jews say about each other. Of course it would be an entirely diffrent story if a Jew had commented on her lips…

It was popular with the Nazis to characterize Jews as having hook noses and this stereotype has been carried on today by certain antisemitic groups so I’d say the association is clear. Whether Halle Berry is really antisemitic or just stupid, I don’t know.

Whatever Dave.
People have made fun of the big Hebrew nose for thousands of years before the Nazis even existed.
That’s not to say that the joke wasn’t in poor taste, but let’s not jump the gun.

You keep saying “she’s black.” She’s bi-racial. Her mother is white and her father is black. She possibly has a jewish cousin and maybe they’ve joked around about it before. It could have been just bad judgement on her part because it was national television, but even black people make comments about the noses and lips of black people and so do white people about each other. Don’t get so carried away for goodness sake.

You have a link for the Jewish cousin thing?
The point is if a white conservative had done that it would have NOT been edited out and the news media would have found someone willing to go ballistic over it.

I say let it go, after all ... she didn’t get where she is today for her brain ya know
