My best friend at school invited a whole German exchange class over to his house to celebrate Diwali, temporarily forgetting that it was absolutely festooned with swastikas. That was a little awkward.

that kind of swastika is usually reversed! not that that makes a difference tho

The Reverse Swastika is my favorite wrestling move. Very effective.

swastikas are free to go either way on the subcontinent; only the nazis were such nazis about it

I am really sensitive about anti-semitism, I mean, I am not Jewish but if someone poured maple syrup all over my floor I would be deeply distressed. I'd need therapy. I've seen a really casual attitude about it in some places, like they can take a "joke".
My grandmother was a governess to a Jewish family, same with my dad's first boss out of college, again they are like family. I don't think you have to be Jewish to be hurt by this stuff, I just ignore weird politically correct people. I mean, how do you live being that "pc"?
Like I know people who think it's weird to look at Jewish websites if you're not Jewish. Like, what kind of weird attitude is that?

I don't think it's anti-semitic, I think it's just kind of ill-considered. You can't really assume people are going to be cool with "reappropriation" of symbols associated with ethnic slaughter

Jew of the coins is the patron saint of financial success. "The Jew in the court, money in your pocket" - the slogan suggests. When I see it in homes, shops, galleries of art objects - I feel bad
The combination of a Jew and money zagościło for good in the Christian imagination, when - as the Gospel - Judas betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. Since that time, Judas has become synonymous with Jew, and the rest of the apostles and Jesus somehow ceased to be Jews. With time, the mythical Jew, a Jew on the phantasm "in general", tightly covered the reality they were real to the Jews.

I can't recall ever seeing one. The original article from Gazeta Wyborcza seemed to indicate it's a pretty standard piece of tourist merch but i'm not sure i've ever come across it. There's tonnes of tourist tat, including paintings, that references the pre-war Jewish community but it's generally aimed at Jewish tourists. I'll have to keep an eye out next time i'm over.

A Jewish lawyer once told me that he thinks Jewish lawyers benefit from anti-semitism, because even (perhaps ESPECIALLY) anti-semites assume that you have to have a Jewish lawyer or that Jewish lawyers are better.

I have heard the same said about internists.
FYI I think my internist is Jewish; my physiatrist (as in rehabilitative medicine, not shrink, but probably applies there as well) is definitely Jewish. They are both kinda meh.

"Jewish lawyers are the best" has a slightly more negative undertone than "Jewish internists are the best" though because people think lawyers are sleazy.

the best lawyers and judges that i know personally are Italian-Americans. that says more about the ethnic composition of where i live than anything else. (nb: i've also known some good Jewish lawyers and my first lawyer mentor was an excellent lawyer of Indian ancestry.)
that said, i am well aware of the "Jewish lawyers are the best!" meme. i once had a client who was visibly disappointed when i told her that i wasn't Jewish (as she originally assumed) and was in fact a Polack.

NOTE: The original photo in this post was of a couple of jovial Orthodox Jews, one of whom was wearing a traditional hat. Some readers found that needlessly provocative. One suggested I replace it with a picture of Natalie Portman, who, I guess, is Jewish (I don't know). So I have.
if he is jewish I may have an answer

i don't think actually anti-semitic, but pretty bizarre. reminds me of a defense someone once gave of zizek's early writing about jewishness: "well, they don't have many jews in slovenia"

Want to take a sexy fiesta? Meet people of the sun and fun in our No. 10 horniest country. Mexicans kick off our list of boot-knocking people, and they start from an early age. In fact, in May of 2008 Mexico City’s government distributed 700,000 copies of sex-ed textbooks to deliver to the city’s student population, well aware that the kids would be doing the horizontal tango one way or another.
And when it comes to sex south of the border, there’s always a way. While prostitution is generally illegal in Mexico, it is legal in select cities like Tijuana, where sex worker zones are set up for your benefit.

But when it comes to Jewish men, their appearances span across a spectrum ranging from James Dean look alikes, to the ultimate panty in James Franco.
