Is this CNN Meme Anti-Semitic?

And where in any of my posts did I use the words "Jewish privilege"?

Why is it okay to point out overrepresentation of whites, but not Jews?
 
Because of the 'slant' of the poster of the OP, the question is in fact anti Semitic!

Is there a problem with the over representation of Jews in the media? Is there a noticeable negative impact on other American's because there are a lot of Jews working at CNN?

So it's racist to point out when there's disproportionate racial representation in high positions? So then CNN is racist?

No, it's ok because they're white men and not Jewish. Yup, that is how idiotic their logic is. You add one little qualifier to the list and it goes from perfectly acceptable to bigoted hatred.

Whites are overreperesented: white privilege.
Jews are overrepresented: not an issue.

Funny how that works.

I think that it's interesting to say the least. But what's even more interesting is that the people who use overrepresentation of whites as evidence of white privilege have nothing to say about Jewish overrepresentation.

Ah..that thing no one can prove exists but it exists none the less. Arguing with liberals about white privilege is like getting into a debate with a five year old girl about the existence of unicorns.

But is the meme wrong? Is pointing out the reality anti-Semitic?

It depends on the intent. This appears to be an attempt to demean CNN for having Jewish people working for them. If they think being Jewish is a negative attribute, it is likely they are anti-Semitic.

And if you do think that it's anti-Semitic, why?

The information it self is not anti semitic but you take the entire picture with the statement something is strange about CNN and the probable intent of the picture makes it antisemitic

The obvious intent is to say that CNN is strange because of the number of jewish people working there. It would make those who do not like jew's or CNN start to feel that one or both groups are a problem or "strange"

Also in this picture is not providing the information as a positive aspect but in a negative manner.

We call it idiotic logic created from the mindset that brought us dumb things like protected classes.

So pointing out facts is racist?

It wouldn't be racist either way whether it was factual or not. Prejudice or bigoted possibly, racist no. The prejudice is against a religion not a race

So when CNN does the exact same thing about Trump's cabinet, demeaning it for having whites working for them, and they portray that negatively, is that anti-white?
 
phattonez said:
Do you have a problem with how white Trump's cabinet is, like CNN does?

I asked you a question about your statement. So what if there are a lot of Jews working for CNN? In what way is this significant?

I call it convenient logic created by those who benefit from it.

So was CNN anti-white when they pointed out, negatively, the overrepresentation of whites in Trump's cabinet?

My major problem with it is that CNN is a major contributor to anti-white bias. They constantly point out things like "white privilege" or white overrepresentation, bewailing how awful this is. Yet they themselves are overrepresented with Jews, and we're not allowed to say anything?

Debating with you about anything is like arguing with a brick wall.

Because again, whites being over represented in positions of leadership is an effect of white privilege, not the cause in of itself.

And again, what are the negative aspects of Jews being over represented in the media?

Jews are not white? Or are they self hating whites?

What are the negative affects of Jewish over-reprenstation? Further more, are Jews in such positions of authority that they dominate most factors of the US's society, government, and economy?

Also, being Jewish and white are not mutually exclusive. One is a religion the other is a race.

No

CNN was not saying white people are strange or put them in a negative light. Just that trumps cabinet had a predominance of white men in it. With the probable intent to say that Trumps cabinet was not inclusive and as such would have difficulty in understanding/representing all Americans

Why does it matter if there is more men working in higher positions than women?

Lol, you have to laugh at this blatant hypocrisy that criticizes one group that they have absolutely no problem with another group doing. Enjoy the feeling Jredbaron, you're participating in bigotry.

There seem to be a lot of Jews in the leadership of CNN.

You said reality. "Seems" like reality is not "reality". How do you know they are Jews? Jewish sounding names? What if they are not practicing Jews? What if they just married someone who has a Jewish sounding name? Maybe they just like to wear that funny little star as jewelry. How many people work at CNN? How many in management? How many would constitute "a lot"? Reality is real, not just what seems to be real.
