Is drawing a cartoon of a Jewish person with a large nose anti-semitic?

Then again if you are a woke snowflake who gets offended by cartoons...

How dare the makers of The Simpsons draw racially offensive caracatures of the Chinese??? *froth*fume*

Or the creators of Spitting Image make body shaming caricatures of our politicians? Froth!! Fume!!!

Lol. I just clicked your link Wilts. I'm banned. I never even entered the site. I think it must be blatant censorship.  Why would an organ of an allegedly democratic group behave like that.. ?

Yes Wilts , but you are. Not offended by the cartoon are you! So not all woke Snowflakes would be offended?

It’s been an interesting few years observing what Social Justice Warriors do and don’t get dramatically offended by.

So what you're saying is that's my opinion you can't challenge it? Yes?

No I'm saying everybody's view on what they find offensive/racist should be respected.

In response to: -

"It smacks of people searching for something to be offended by."

But this equally applies to: -

- "Then again if you are a woke snowflake who gets offended by cartoons"

- "Froth!! Fume!!!"

- "It’s been an interesting few years observing what Social Justice Warriors do and don’t get dramatically offended by."


And that failure to respect a person's opinion on finding a particular image (or opinion or action) offensive/racist, and then perhaps to go on to criticise or mock that person over that belief is perhaps a reflection of your own prejudices on the issue.

I don't have a problem with people saying that they don't believe the image is offensive/racist and explaining why that is. I would in fact respect their different opinion.
