Back in January, The Anti Defamation League pressured Urban Outfitters, Inc. to discontinue a t-shirt featuring the quote “Everybody Loves A Jewish Girl” surrounded by dollar signs, claiming it promoted offensive stereotypes. Urban Outfitters pulled the schmatta, but we wonder if the ADL needs to lighten up a bit. What about all those bling-lovin’ Jewish girls who would proudly wear such a shirt? Shouldn’t they be represented in capitalist corporate couture just like everyone else?

Yo, Yenta!
From the edge of the Diaspora rises a new generation of Jewish mother
I’m not a big fan of the ADL’s constant need to justify its existance, but the real crime here isn’t sterotyping, it’s the lame attempt at humor/irony. This t-shirt isn’t as offensive as it is unfunny. A prime example of why people love to make fun of urban hipsters.
