What is a Jewish American Princess?

What even makes somebody Jewish? I don't understand why Jews are any different to the Irish or Italian Americans. Why is Jewish considered an ethnicity, an identity, a stereotype?

Jews are always mentioning how Jewish they are. Are they all wealthy? If so, why? Have you ever known a poor jew?

I think you have too many conversations in your head with people and things that don't exist.

On past Easters, Kanye was flouncing around in a shroud after being resurrected.

This Easter, he’s pestering Jonah Hill with a bunch of dumb questions and he’s not even texting them to the right place.

How the mighty have fallen.

I don't have time right now and I have to wonder about the bona fides of this question. But to just take the income question, there are wealthy Jews, middle-class Jews, and Jews on welfare. I'm not Jewish, but I've known Jews who lived on Fifth Avenue and Jews who lived in the biggest housing project in the United States.

Some of this stuff you can Google, such as "Jewish American Princess" (J.A.P.). I haven't heard that term used in a while, though.

I had a JAP girlfriend in college, and I have a JAPpy friend now. It goes like this:

Daddy issues. Daddy indulged them. They expect the men in their lives to continue indulging them. Materially but also emotionally. There's emotional leaning. It's a symbiosis if you're a neurotic Jewish male, because the JAP lets you know regularly that you are doing something right, which is, treating them right.

It's definitely material. JAPs like the better things and they don't like the lesser things. We all do, of course. But it's more acutely felt and expressed by JAPs. There's a bit of entitlement to it all, an urgency.

You either deal with it or you don't. My current friend knows that her somewhat smothering dependency is what drives her erstwhile boyfriends away. She tries to play me for favors and gifts. My response is "My yes is yes, and my no is no. If you are a pest I will ignore you." I did buy her a nice easter basket this year. I added some chocolate coins. I explained, "These are the coins Judas got in exchange for betraying Jesus."

The attached article is as good as any.

I sold a set of salt and pepper shakers one time on ebay. I sold them to a woman who complained that there was a tiny little bump in the glaze and I hadn't disclosed that because if I had she wouldn't have bought them. I told her to send them back for a refund. She informed me that she didn't have the time to waste to stand on line at the post office to ship them back. My 1st thought was, oy, a Jewish American Princess. they always expect perfection.

That was very interesting, r7 (Your analysis, I mean. I haven't read the Vox piece yet)

r12 no it wasn't. I knew she was Jewish. and then I knew she was a princess, and no, most customers wouldn't have been pissed off. I've been selling for over 20 years and she is the only one that reacted this way.

How am I a troll for calling out someone for antisemitism? Have your senses taken leave of you?

For a gay forum, the amount of racism and sexism and general bigotry tolerated by DL is damned depressing.

Oh and R10 R12's other posts show her to be a str8 white woman by her admission. She also posted a bunch of comments accusing Clifton Webb of being a racist.

Straight white woman on a gay forum ... nasty accusing disposition ... You can smell the feces from your screen.

I’m a middle class Jew who grew up in a suburb of very wealthy ones. Surrounded by JAPs. Many were “preppy” types, but some were party girls. All of them were spoiled rotten by their parents, many got nose jobs and new cars for their 16th birthdays, all of them dressed in the FANCY department store clothes, ironed their hair straight, and were en route to expensive “safety” schools (think Tulane, BU…) to get a Business degree but really to find a Jewish husband in pre-med.

So gauche, looking back on it.

Seems like there's a pretty good chance the OP is also r7. No one posts what OP does without explicitly wanting replies like r7's.

you Americans are strange, here on Balkans you couldn't get a nose job before 18th birthday

Nice attempt at deflection, PS. No, PS, I'm not OP. In fact, it's much more likely you posted the OP in order to troll and attack people who reply. I notice that 2 people who posted got called anti-semites by you. I have only one account and never use throwaways. So if you block me and look at my history, you will see I didn't post OP. Now let's look at the account who posted the OP here.

And look, it turn out that OP [italic]is[/italic] also R10 and R12. No surprise there. She's such an internet skag. Why, D@vida, why? What's your point?

Below are the posts from the account that is also OP. I marked the OP here with ***. Because there are character limits for posts, I had to split this post into 2 parts.

Are more straight men heteroflexible/bicurious now out of convenience? R6

I'm a straight woman who had some straight women friends in college who briefly experimented. They're all married now. One said she was bored. I was never that bored. And there still was a stigma. Life isn't actually a porn movie in which women are always ready to go at each other.

It was stigmatized in the 50s, the 60s, the 70s, the 80s, and probably still today. Former New York Mayor Bill de Blasio's wife went to Wellesley in the 80s, I think, and was ostracized at liberal, woman-friendly Wellesley for having a lesbian relationship.

Johnny Depp: In which movie did he look his most attractive? And which movie did he look his worst? Not including the cartoonish characters with heavy make-up like Edward Scissorhands and Willy Wonka.

I never found him attractive with short, slicked back hair, like in Donnie Brasco, Crybaby or Public Enemies. A clean cut look doesn't suit him.

He looks way better with long hair and facial hair, like in Chocolat, Blow and From Hell, the first pirates movie. He also looked good in the last season of 21 Jump Street,

Vets are insanely greedy. Pet medicine should be sold over-the-counter. I don't have pets anymore but I used to. Whenever I took my pets to the vet, I was basically fleeced for cash. If my dog has an infected wound or eye infection, the treatment is obvious, so why do I have to pay the vet for a consultation fee and the medicine fee, when I could just buy an ointment over the counter at a pet store?

I understand that if an animal has epilepsy or a heart condition, that there needs to be a diagnosis to get meds, so yeah, a vet visit is needed then. But some minor issues could easily be taken care of at home by the owner, no vet needed. Minor things like rashes, eye infections, colds, diarrhea, sore throats.

It's annoying. When a human being needs flu pills, ointments and antiseptic, they can just go to the pharmacy to buy some over the counter. No doctor needed (Obviously, you need a prescription for other things like insulin) Why can't there be a service like that for pets? The only medicine-type items you can get from a pet store are eye drops and worming tablets.

It's funny, JAP has become a very outdated expression and stereotype, more associated with suburban teens from the 1980s with heavy Long Island accents.

Not that rich spoiled entitled Jewish girls don't exist, it's just that the whole stereotype seems to have mellowed some, especially because, say in the case of my old school, you now have second or third-generation JAPs, which is sort of fascinating.
