In defense of Kewpie (well, someone has to), it sounds like she may have stepped on a linguistic land mine.
She was repeating a comment she had read about a Jewish Hollywood insider/Academy type and his wife, who said something catty about Jewish Hollywood, probably in jest. By the transitive properties of Yahweh, the insider had a right to say that (his wife, iffy). The
Extras episode with Kate Winslet
was pretty amusing, and they
did make the same joke, and she
did end up winning the award for
The Reader, which was not only deserved, but very meta.
Also by the transitive property of Yahweh, only Jewish People can use the word "Jews," anyone else is itchin' for a fight.
Let's not get the anti-semitic pitchforks out just yet, there's enough ugliness going around. Kewpie's attitude has not made her many friends, it's true, but I find it hard to believe that she's an out-loud-and-proud bigot.
That thread reminds me: NRitH was the fastest draw on Solo - I miss him.
