I thought Jews claimed they weren't a race, so not sure how what this guy said could be construed as racism, and they want this guy sacked for making what appears to be no more than a harmless joke. One thing is clear, I'm pretty sure cold weather has killed far more millions of people than the amount they claim died in camps. Jews should not be upset about this.

Totally, completely, and utterly tasteless. I think he needs to be sacked because a writer needs to a lot better than that at analogies. Obviously Mr. Okulski needs to go back to school for a refresher course in history.

Dumbass thing to say

Quote:
'Travis Okulski from Gawker's Jalopnik is a racist anti-Semite and should be fired immediately,' came one immediate response on Twitter.
This is an overreaction.

Yes my title supports what is in the article. The ADL (mentioned in the article) which is run by Jews is very upset with this.
