      Famous Jewish assholes: Judy Blume, Elie Wiesel, Albert Einstein, Jonas Salk, Mel Brooks, Noam Chomsky, Bernie Sanders and, of course, the queen asshole herself, Anne Frank.

          No he isn’t. And Anne Frank wasn’t the queen asshole herself. What does that suggest about my comment?

              My comment: sarcastically claiming a list of really cool people who were Jewish and definitely not assholes were actually assholes.

              You: “Bernie Sanders is an asshole? Never seen him portrayed as such.”

              What am I not understanding?

                I don’t know. What do they have to do with Columbus being known as an asshole?

                  Ah, so that’s the part we were at.

                  Cool.

                  Headline: “Christopher Columbus was Spanish and Jewish, documentary reveals”

                  You: “Is that supposed to explain why he was known to be an asshole?”

                  So if you didn’t mean being a Jew explained why he was an asshole, did you mean that being Spanish explained why he was an asshole? Because I can list plenty of non-asshole people from Spain too.

                    Well, you really didn’t understand my comment then. It was a jab at the title.

                    Does his ancestry change any of his deeds? Nope. So he was part Jew. Whoop-dee-doo. Who cares. Why should it matter?
