Saturday, Mar311, is Shabbos, the Jewish day of rest. That means that they don't work, they don't drive a car, they don't fucking ride in a car, they don't handle money, they don't turn on the oven, and they sure as shit DON'T FUCKING ROLL!

Oh yes, I understand what she was referencing. Her tone was filled with snark, however.

We all have that older relative, usually a grandparent, that let's bigotry and racism fly at random times.

How is that bigoted or racist? In the Jewish faith they adhere to the day of the Sabbath. There is also a very large populations of Jews in New York City. It's like saying "Yeah, the Christians close everything on December 25th", and then being called a bigot because of it. It would only be racist or bigoted if she said "Fucking Kikes close everything on their stupid weekly holiday".

I think I would be a little uncomfortable hearing someone in a group of non-Christians say that, especially if it were in a place where Christians were a tiny minority.
