The thing about Jews is.. IMHO, their sense of self-preservation is a bred-trait following a long lineage of historical persecution..

So what happens when you deal with the j00..  They're very literal and upfront about the fact that they put their well being FIRST.. be it splitting the check, who does what in a project.. 

The most afflictive j-zero-zero experience I've had was how Explosively temperamental they get when they detect even the slightest disproportionate allocation in their direction..  Their distress at the smallest wavy line borderlines a mental disorder..

Let me give you an example..   if we casually say normal people get the 80% deal they could've gotten..  they're ok with that for the most part, live and let die..   The j00 experience is when he gets a 97% deal, crosses his arms, and turns purple..

It's not that we can not renegotiate and accommodate perfect equality, it's how much unnecessary distress they add to the interactivity during negotiation that makes the j00 experience wholly disconcerting..   

That's my take ..

It's how I would describe what I dub the jzerozero experience..

You rarely meet people from other cultures behaving this way.. it's very iconic..  NOT all jews are like this.. but the ones that are... foghetabouit...

Yeah, you were muted, not banned.  :)  If you were banned, you wouldn't be able to access the site.

And I've said it before, I'll say it again.  If you're wondering how things like that work, on a technical level, feel free to PM me and ask.  I'm always happy to discuss this sort of stuff, wherever possible.

Tp4 lived off the streets of China until Age 7..  So I wouldn't file myself under, oblivious to American Customs..


The rule is Do not DISCRIMINATE..    that is NOT what I'm doing..  I am sharing my experience about my interactions with people of confirmed jewish descent.. 

This is my experience. I didn't make them that way..


For example, you meet 10 asians, 9/10 likes tofu and rice..   how's that your fault to believe, dang, dem' asians and der' wice..



As for AFK interactions..  the subject of race comes up ALL THE TIME..  maybe not in highschool.. but when you grow up...  You're gonna hear alot of .. that damn jew.. or those damn asians..

Um, so it's not racism if it's true? Even putting aside self preservation, that's a pretty jerk way to live.

TP, there are some times in life when something may be true or you may be right but the better thing to do is to keep your mouth shut

AFK.. you'd be correct..

But it's against the interest of the INTERNET.. to keep secrets..  especially on such a trivial issue that MOST people already know about..


Besides..  I don't at all think less of Jewish people for this behavior.. I recognize that it has historical significance, and that this slightly elevated level of selfishness must've been a necessary survival tool..

I believe they're good people.. my only statement has been that their negotiation mannerisms are abrasive..

derrrrrr

tons of people are bad at negotiations.  like seriously really bad.  like 'i hate your company and will neer buy again' cs rep: 'so why does it benefit me to give you a discount?'

unless you negotiated with thousands of jews, you can't actually say that jews are bad negotiators; all you can say is that you've met bad negotiators.

what's most entertaining is that the negative traits that the antisemitic russians arrogate to the jews are largely found in the russians themselves.

As someone who is not at all typical in many things, I am very ambivalent about rice. I don't dislike it, but I do avoid eating it. A lot of extended family members also avoid eating rice.

I understand many things about me are very unlike what people expect of Asians.

But as you can see, within a few minutes of interacting with anyone, I can establish that I'm not like what they expect Chinese to be like. Sometimes that causes a hostile or uncomfortable reaction because people don't know what to make of me. But sometimes it also causes a kind of friendly kindred response, because some people like being able to put aside their expected social roles and be themselves because they know I am myself.

Sometimes I wonder if acting like a stereotypical role also causes others to react the same way and act out a stereotypical role unconsciously. I never came across to anyone as a standard Asian-American high achiever in school, a model minority, or whatever that they could pigeonhole properly.

In my experience the vast majority of Jews are not how TP describes them to be like.

There are absolutely times when keeping your mouth shut is the right thing to do, and if you are not aware of that you must be a ****ing terrible person to be around.

history class/general chitchat told me that german soldiers would check for the star or otherwise take their pants off and check for circumcision.  i REALLY rather not do this on a daily basis since i am not a doctor.

No need to go for a subverted personal attack. If that is what you believe in, please be consequent and keep quiet. :p

If you want to know if someone is Jewish just ask them on their stance on the Israel/Palestine situation and take a step back to avoid spittle.
It's a very touchy subject for most.

Other than that they are like every other person. Some are *******s, most are not.

My mom would tell me that people were asking her when she was young if she was Jewish because she had a slightly crooked nose bridge... She grew up in a very small town.
