It makes reference to a silly stereotype that, in times past, was quite real and we know today that it was born out ignorant racism. Since we all know that we can have a bit of fun with it while recognizing that we would all swiftly subdue anybody that dared try to make such claims as if they were fact.
Racist or antisemitic jokes are something that should be confined to the dustbin of language. History shows that people of all creeds were greedy in the Middle Ages - it's just as greedy to sack a town for loot as it is to charge interest on a loan and a lot more cruel. Christians have never had the moral high ground over Jews and even less so when perpetuating discrimination under the excuse that it's "funny".
This forum is meant to be for the discussion of market matters in Eve. Any post that uses Jew as a derogatory term will very shortly not be about market matters in Eve. If you want to talk about the market don't troll us by being antisemitic. |

Anyway, about 'dem Guidance Systems?
It's not clear what you're trying to illustrate here.
I will paraphrase multiple interviews of several of the people on the list--context, intent and presentation are critical to the comedic arts. Even then, there are no guarantees. Just because you make a joke, doesn't mean its funny. The Jewish community does not speak with one voice nor adhere to one set of beliefs on this topic. It is not uncommon for Jewish artists and comedians (and others) to be accused of being antisemitic by other Jewish persons. Several of the people on this list have been accused of it; you probably should have done a bit of research.
But you do have a point: this thread is about guidance systems. I'll expand on it: this game is about an imaginary place and time. The only relevant politics, races, ethnicities, or nationalities are the ones in the game.
