Hooked-Nose Jews: Wahoo Logo and Antisemitic Notes

hooked-nose jews: It was after all the early 1960s, according to Huffington Post Canada. Racism, bullying and ethnic stereotyping hardly seemed to matter. I vividly remember what it was like for me as a young boy growing up in Ottawa attending a public school to be referred to as" Jewboy" or "kike." Sadder yet were the cryptic antisemitic notes and roughly drawn caricatures of hooked-nose Jews that would appear on my desk from time to time. It did however matter to me. Almost 60 years later as I watch the same pain being expressed by Canadian indigenous leaders over the "Chief Wahoo" logo used by Cleveland, I more than get it. And having had to endure this form of baiting as a young person, I suppose it fair to say that its pain stuck. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
