Jewmunity?

Really there's no way around it. Old Testament first name, Yiddish last name. I'm short, bookish, neurotic, and yeah, I do have the tendency to answer a question with a question. I'm so Jewish it's not even funny. Occassionally accused of equal-opportunity misanthropy, I'd really like to have at least one subculture where I can actually come out and call it like I see it. There are, of course, the subgroups that we, as a progressive, open-minded people are practically encouraged to bash: Americans, men, whites, the wealthy, the Republicans. But other than those, it's ixnay on the patriotism/sexism/racism/classism- ay. Evangelical Christianity, but in today's world Islam certainly isn't. Judaism? As far as I know it's probably closer to the Muslim end.
We'll see how far I can get to the line.
Until then I'm lucky to have one of the most highly bashable careers out there.
What do you call 100 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?
A good start....
