This Jewish kid I know wants to bring in some dorky instrument to his school’s show and tell day. His dad orders him to bring in this prestigious award he earned and the dad then asks me what I think. “I would never have brought in an award, too boasty,” I said. “But then, I wasn’t raised Jewish. Jews have an easier time receiving honors and compliments (see Donald Sterling for example). WASPs would rather die.”
Dad: “You think Robin Williams got what he deserved, so good for you. Somebody sent his daughter pictures of his dead body.”
I burst out laughing.
