Okay so, my dog got spayed and is wearing a cone, and we were joking around about what she looked like, traffic cone, lamp, hoop etc. But my sister said and I quote "she actually looks Jewish" and I asked her how so, maybe she was thinking about a kippah. And she said it was because our dog had curly hair and that all Jews have curly hair. I told her that was racist and anti-semitic. 1/3
And we are Gentiles so I'd don't want to explain it wrong but she shouldn't say stuff like that. 2/2
Mod here. I’d like to expand this ask to include advice on how to effectively have a conversation addressing a statement intended as a joke but founded on stereotypes.
