Are jews an ethnic group or a religious group.
Was the Scott in the joke that causing all this controversy a JEW. Or was
the Jew a SCOTT.
There are Italian jews and Scottish jews and Black jews. There are
even Canadian jews. I know Canadian(of other religious persuasion.
Notice I said religious not ethnic), find it very hard to accept this fact.
Are catholics an ethnic group?
Are protestants an ethnic group?
Would you say that catholic Canadian is
a. a canadian
b. an ethnic
Then why do you classify jews as an ethnic group.
Does Luisa D'Amato and the editors of The Kitchener-Waterloo Record
know the difference between an ethnic groups, and a religious groups.
The opinion expressed here are my own

>OLD article asked: > how could you confuse an Italian woman with a gorilla ? 1. maybe if you were a jew or a scot that had nothing better to do than go out to dinner with a scot or a jew ?? 2. if you were Jonathan Richmond ! AHA ... you say but can it be proven ? in pure logic, YES !!! (i'm kinda rusty at this so hold on...) PREMISE: Jonathan didn't object to the "joke" PREMISE: the funny part was obvious to Jonathan CONCLUSION: Italian women can be mistaken for shaven gorillas. 3. Jonathan either dates an Italian or a Gorilla. 4. Both Gorillas and Italians have turned down Jonathan's advances, so he doesn't mind seeing them picked on. -- dick.daulton@dayton.ncr.com * THE FUTURE'S NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE but, then again, THE PAST'S NOT WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE
