Christina Aguilera and Her Jew Husband

Jewy Chewy

My headline here is intended to be sarcastic. Here is what I’m responding to:

Christina Aguilera fell in love with and actually married her fuzzy-face geeky manager Jordan Bratman. Why? Good question. Maybe she liked his managerial skills or the way he balanced her books?

(via The Envelope/LATimes.com, “Hollywood’s Luckiest Guys”)

Now. I ask you. If Ms. Aguilera had married a Black man, and the L.A. Times wrote “Maybe she likes fried chicken and watermelon”, would they have gotten away with it? Of course not. And yes, I realize that a chicken/watermelon comment is far more offensive than what the L.A. Times actually wrote. I think the “balanced her books” thing is supposed to mean that members of the tribe (aka Jews), of which Bratman is one, possess good accounting skills.

This is not to imply that Bratman isn’t lucky. He’s lucky as all hell. Aguilera is hot, successful, talented, and hot. I mean, look at this (videos kind of safe for work, but actually, probably not):

So yes. He’s a lucky guy. But what does his Hebrew heritage have to do with anything?
