Surely This Will Draw the Outrage of Sensitive Leftists

[Mike Ellis]

I have been taken to task in this forum by several of the bleeding heart variety in past times for using the hideously hateful word "Jew" in my posts. I was told that it is hateful, mean-spirited, offensive, etc. Nowadays I typically use the safer and more politically correct acronym "PFKAJ" (People Formerly Known as Jews) to protect their sensibilities.

While perusing the web, I happened to run across this little gem right smack dab in the middle of the LA Times Entertainment section. My, my, my - a hateful newspaper headline and article that uses the vicious slur "shiksa" to refer to Gentile women. For those who don't know what the term means, here is a definition for your reading pleasure:

shiksa - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

shiksa
One entry found.

Main Entry: shik·sa
Variant(s): or shik·se \ˈshik-sə\

1 often disparaging : a non-Jewish girl or woman

Doubtless you heroic Lefties will join me in writing in a complaint to the LA Times for allowing their writer to use this disparaging term for your own women? Right? Right? Yeah, right.

Why Hollywood's Jewish guys fall in love with shiksas

From Diane Keaton to Mariel Hemingway to Scarlett Johansson, Woody Allen's favorite women have been WASPy blonds. [UPDATE: As many readers have noted, Johansson is actually Jewish, so perhaps I should call her a WASPy blonde Jewess.] At any rate, Allen is not alone. As Liel Leibovitz writes in a fascinating new essay in Tablet magazine, "Since the dawn of American entertainment, Jewish women were largely rendered invisible, absent everywhere from burlesque to Hollywood to prime-time television. Instead, they watched as their sons and brothers and husbands became successful producers, directors and impresarios, powerful men who then chose to populate their works with a parade of sexy, sultry shiksas who looked nothing like their female kin."
