"Little fella" & "Not Goodenough" having lunch

[Bicycle Repairman]

I think what people are too gutless to say when they use it is that he's New York Jew who shouldn't have any power over the league. It's a despicable comment.

I've never seen mention of his religion. The reference refers to his physical stature.

I'm wondering why you see fit to mention his religion. Are you implying it in a negative context?

No, I'd say it's pretty clear I'm not, when the next sentence in my post says: "It's a despicable comment." As for the reference being about his physical stature-sure. If the NHL had an African-American commissioner who possessed a stereotypical trait of African-Americans, and people referred to him by it, it'd be just as offensive.

Oh no, I read that part too. I'm just wondering why it was brought up at all.

And why reference another ethnic group?

Just seems like an odd comment to a non-existant issue.

Calling him "little fella" refers to a steretype typically attributed to Jewish people. If you read that part, why would you ask me if I meant it in a negative way.

To show that it's relevant regardless of who it's about.

It's my interpretation of the nickname. Your mileage may vary. I'd suggest that no one who uses it would refer to any Jewish person they knew with that nickname though.

SOME SHOULD STICK WITH HOCKEY

South Americans are typically shorter than average, so are Asians. So what...you can't call someone little fella because Jewish people, Asians and South Americans may be offended.

Can you call a short person "Little fella?" Or would you making some kind of social or political commentary?

It's a nickname based on a physical characteristic that fits a stereotype for an ethnic group. Most of you here are bright enough to figure out whether that's kosher. (rimshot)

Of course if you wanted to comment on his bizarre interviews with MacLean, where he spends the whole time touching him, shoot. That's just hilarious.
