Jews Don't Count

by David Baddiel

We live in a culture now where impact is more important than intent; where how things are taken is more significant than how they are meant. You have to listen to the people being talked about rather than the talker – and the power, throughout history, has tended to be with the talker, the person with the platform, rather than the talked-about, who are usually the ones affected.

Which is when this becomes really problematic: when you cartoon the Jewishness, and you yourself are not Jewish, what is that if not minstrelsy in another form?
