What's the story with Jews?
27 Answers
Can they be made fun of? They seem to always be funny(sometimes). Also they seem to always have to mention they are Jewish. Is this a necessity? I've only just noticed this watching a Family Guy thing on BBC3.

Thats probably because most American tv series/sitcom are either screen written or produced by Jews. No-ones going to challege a Jew laughing at themselves.
Whos' that British comedian from Iran who's entire stand up/acting career is heavily based around stereotypical Muslim terrorist gags? Its in a similar vein.

The point about being Jewish - in common with being Muslim, is that it is no just an aspect of life, as it is in Christianity, it's part of the fabric of society and has a far more direct influence and effect on its people than the Christian faith.
Judaiism influences language, food, and culture far more than Christianity - which is why they are more prone to mention their Jewishness. It's part of what and who they are, so it's far more likely to produce references, oblique and direct, in conversation.
You can make fun of everybody and everything - the only consequence depends on your audience at the time.
