#1 Without comparative data vis-a-vis other ethnic/religious groups, it's a meaningless survey.

#2 Not any Tuvans around here but I don't hold much against them except that damn noise they make, and the yurts, I can't stand a yurt, drive down the property values you see.

Perhaps Americans are less imaginative in their prejudices, or simply have a comparatively benign attitude toward what it means to be American.

Ahhhh NICE! A polite way of saying all non-Jewish Americans are bloody, duck calling headcases and closet anti-semitics. Perhaps it's not that at all. Perhaps American's have just had a bloody snoot full of the cult of victimization. But what do I knowm, I'm the least of all "remarkable."

Haven't you ever wondered, though, about why all those duck-calling headcases have the heavy beards and the frizzy hair? Maybe they're hiding something?

#5 I thought the article said something very positive about Americans and how they define themselves as inclusive rather than exclusive, Besoeker. The study revealed that the ways that different societies define Jews as different and therefore awful ties to the problems the particular society has, and they therefore externalize that problem onto the Jews... especially if there aren't any Jews around to contradict it by being visibly other-than-defined in real life.

#6 I always though Jews had big noses

So do lots of people of Mediterranean stock.

#7 Excellent observation TW. Ill will toward the Jew has been around for quite a long while. Americans on the other hand, are but a microscopic flyspeck on the challah cover of time. Perhaps we are some sort of homogenized cosmic experiment. My plan is to be nice to Jews.... just in case.

#8 Speaking of which .. it's been many many decades since I heard a Polish joke.
