RE:USING THE WORD SHEKELMelida,
You are clearly overdoing it, an exaggeration!
IF one says it is not kosher, what is that slang for? Would this also set you off? Sincerely, hope not, neither should the Shekel(s) reference.
Good luck to All!

Using this word in a negative, if not bitter, post supports an antisemitic stereotype.
I'm not Jewish, but neither am I racist.
My initial response asked a question. It gave Otto the opportunity to retract. He didn't and Filoux jumped all over things in support of Otto. As I said, brutal.
The word shekel, especially when used in the context that it was, is racist, and at the very least ignorant. Do some DD morons
