Open letter to Jews.

Dear Jewish People,

I shall lay my honest position on the line, plain and simple. I do not like or dislike you as a people because of who you are. I am neutral. Your heritage does not impress nor disappoint me. I simply do not care. Whether or not a person is Jewish means nothing to me. I have no vested interest in persecuting nor praising you for your lifestyle alone. Having said this, I wish to make this statement to you:

You are not a "race". You are a religious institution. People who hate you are not "racist", and to claim such only solidifies the stereotype that you will make the biggest possible fuss out of the smallest possible thing. Do not be that stereotype.

I am utterly sick to my stomach of being accused of being a "racist" every time I disagree, on any issue, with a person who happens to be Jewish. It is a convenient way to convince yourself that my opinion should be disregarded instead of considered just because you don't happen to like it. It's rude, it's disrespectful and it's indicative of a person who feels their own stance is weak.

I do not care that "your people" have been enslaved for the last 3000 years. How often have YOU been a slave? If the answer is "never", you have no right to bitch... especially at someone who has never OWNED a slave in their life. The fact, if you care to research it, is that everyone... and I mean *everyone* has at some point, stemmed from people who have both been slaves and slave owners. There is no exception to this.

If there is a reason I might find you ridiculous, it is simply and ONLY because you believe in invisible, magic people who grant wishes, watch you and protect you if you mutter incantations to them on a regular basis. This has nothing to do with color, sex, orientation or class. It is because you have chosen to completely exercise your right as human beings, along with many others, to be complete idiots.

That is all.
