So apparently Daniel Radcliffe made some stupid anti-Semitic joke last weekend in The Guardian ("Did you hear how copper wire was invented? Two Jews fighting over a penny.), claiming that it’s OK to make such cracks because he’s a Jew. Bloggers, accordingly, got all pissed and started to pointing fingers and whatnot.
I’m more offended by the utterly lame joke.
Where’s the evidence that he’s a Jew?
He told the Guardian that he is.
What’s the “evidence”? He’s mentioned his mother being Jewish (and father not being Jewish) quite a few times in the past.
On my end, I want the evidence that Woody Allen and Seth Rogen are Jews, because they’ve made a lot more Jewish jokes, not to men
For modern American readers the joke should read: Do you know how zinc wire was invented?

Really? Is it worth getting worked up over an inane, innocuous Guardian article?
People do enjoy a good work-up.
How did anyone even get that far down in that article to get to it? Not to mention, his hanging out with the New York tranny set is the far more interesting bit.
Aaah the Courtney Love defence “It’s OK if I make anti-semitic comments, I have a Jewish relative!!”.
Radcliffe’s gone quite out of his way previously to point out that, although his mother is Jewish, he does not consider himself Jewish (unlike Rogen and
That’s not correct, Puck. Radcliffe has been saying something along the lines of “I’m very proud of being Jewish” for some time now (i.e. http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-01-26/dirty-harry/full/). He never said he didn’t consider himsel
I’ve never been down with the “Jewish Atheist” thing personally.
Had he made an amusing joke, people would’ve been less offended. The reality is there’s nothing actually humorous or witty about his comment (much like the comments re: Obama & monkeys) it
Well, you may not be down with the “Jewish atheist” thing, but obviously such people are still Jewish. (And if you think Woody Allen isn’t some form of atheist, you’re kidding yourself).
I didn’t defend Radcliffe’s comment, I found it to be stupid and
“her comment was obviously playing to the old storyline of the money-grubbing Jewish”.
And Radcliffe’s wasn’t?? There’s a substantive difference (as you’re well aware” between a comedian taking the piss out of the way Jewish stereotypes are applied (Coe
Both Radcliffe and Love’s comments were playing to that stereotype – but at least Radcliffe made his in the context of a joke he was telling; Love just made an actual statement, meant to be taken seriously on whatever level. And, oh yeah and, unlike Radcl
Maybe I just don’t get it but I don’t think it’s cool for either Jews or non-Jews to make jokes about Jews. I have been to Yad Vashim in Israel and seen the huge pile of shoes of the families that were killed. I think we should all encourage moving past s
