I don't (and I'm not Jewish), but I can see how it might.
The way I see it, if it was a joke to poke fun and it was good-natured, it shouldn't be offensive. I mean the Zucker brothers who were writers on the movie are themselves Jewish, so they thought it was hilarious. All that being said, I don't get to speak for Jews as to what they find offensive.
I’m just curious because I’m Jewish and I don’t know of any Jews who would find this offensive.
If the plane was rubbing its hands together and yelling “oy vey shut it down” I’d probably hear a dog whistle somewhere. Still wouldn’t get offended tho. I’d just know they’re a special type of moron.
Yeah, this feels like silliness rather than malice.
That’s more of a Mel Brooks line anyway 😉
