If Jews were the only race stereotyped with big noses, then yes. tecelote Jul 2014 #3

but do you not deny "big nose" IS an anti-semitic trope? alp227 Jul 2014 #5

No. I would be a bigot if I did. tecelote Jul 2014 #10

all these years I've hated Kissinger and not once did Jewish cross my mind. hobbit709 Jul 2014 #6

That's great, but please be aware of certain images of Kissinger floating around the internet, alp227 Jul 2014 #9

There's nothing that could be done to Kissinger's face that would make him look worse than what he i hobbit709 Jul 2014 #14

do you think it would be ok to call Clarence THomas the racist N Word ? JI7 Jul 2014 #60

I have a lot of words for Thomas but that isn't one of them hobbit709 Jul 2014 #61

that photo looks genuine, as opposed to the photo in that post i linked to. nt alp227 Jul 2014 #11

Are you saying that whenever you say you don't have 100% knowledge of something muriel_volestrangler Jul 2014 #84

it's not about how Jewish Noses actually look, it's about how it's a common bigoted attack against JI7 Jul 2014 #63
