OT: NSH’s Cousins and Hyman - April 14th

[Bryanbryoil]

I hope that the intent wasn’t racist in nature. in 2022 we should be beyond that.

I edited my post. Apologies.

I was joking around and calling you Gene because of the pun. I didn't take your post as racist at all fwiw.

Kinda awkward asking if it was a racist gesture if it wasn't at all

 

[Leonardlizard]

"Was it because you're Jewish and since Jewish people have large noses!? Because that's f***ed bro.. l'chaim!"

 

[brentashton]

The bolded is how I feel. It should be addressed.

A middle finger this week warranted supplemental discipline in the year 2022, hopefully they fully look into this and determine intent and an appropriate reaction.

Something like:
“The two of you were involved in a pretty good physical battle but afterwards Nick made a gesture towards his nose while you two were having words with each other.

I personally have experienced the same gesture while playing hockey and it involved some colourful language, so I did not have to guess that my opponent was being antisemitic.

My questions to you are: Did you feel the gesture to the nose was an antisemitic and/or aggressively rude gesture? Am I upsetting myself over nothing?”

Cousins was butthurt and dug deep for an insult (he waited a second or two for Hyman to look his way) and came up with a nose gesture. Cousins is an idiot so I would not be surprised if he was ignorant to Hyman’s heritage and why the gesture would offensive (beyond “you’ve got a big nose lolol”)
Why could it be perceived as antisemitic? Oh I don’t know…

Super reasonable and polite way to inquire.. my post wasn't to insinuate that you'd phrase the question like that... Just been watching too much curb your enthusiasm on my end and feel like the conversation could end up on that show

I could see it. Curb is hilarious, like when he sees the baptism in the river and thinks it’s a drowning murder so he yells and startles the priest who lets go of the newly baptized guy who doesn’t know how to swim.

The episode where Larry hums Wagner comes to mind.

I wonder if Cousins intended it to be offensive or if we’re missing some context (not sure what the context would be though). If it was a gesture, you’d think Hyman might bring it up, but he also seems like the kind of guy to just ‘let it go’ as well. We may never know

“I thought they were animal crackers!!”

Cousins seems Pejorative Slured so you have to take it easy on him

Good descriptive surname in that case.

Assuming there be a whole clan (word not used in wrong context) like him.

This joke not meant to be offensive to anybody that likes cousins too much.

Should play for the Flames though for the company.

Cheers man. Wasn’t 100% sure…

All I saw was a clever pun, not a racist comment. No offense taken here. Guess people perceive things differently though. We all need to be careful.

thanks. being of Polish decent im used to the nose jokes, they just roll off the like water off a duck’s beak.

 

[nabob]

@Cloned you’re brave for going to the main boards. Lots of people showing their ignorance in there…

Ignorance on the main boards…I’m shocked.

Another stupid stereotype. I think my noggin is larger than normal, but it's from all that Teutonic blood throwing through it. I dunno, maybe he's just making fun of his big noggin? I sure hope so, and that it's nothing more than that. Scarlett Johannsen is Jewish. Anybody think she has a big nose?

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Hyman has a nice nose.

She has big "other things" that I tend to like All joking aside there are many beautiful Jewish women, just like there are beautiful women of every ethnicity.

EDIT-When I think of "noggin" I think of a person's head not their nose, have I been wrong all these years?

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Hyman has a nice nose.

Hyman is a good man, a hard working man and a good role model. I could care less if he has the world's biggest or smallest nose, Hyman kicks ass.

I do have a bit of a snout myself, though I didn't even think Hyman looked Jewish until learning he was from posters on this board. Never would have guessed tbh.

I had no idea Scarlett was Jewish (or at least partially) either until pretty recently. Apparently she lost relatives in the Holocaust.

And marchand got taunted in the past because of his big nose aswell

So what?

The only racists here are the ones implying it was racist

Is Marchand a member of a minority group that has been characterized as, among other things, tending to have large noses?

As far as i know not. And this is exactly the point

 

[redgrant]

I would chalk it up to cousins just being a cliché dumb guy unaware of the connotation.

Would have been great if Zach scared him all night and retorted "yeah I get it I get what you're saying got a big jew nose I get it. I get what you're saying! Antisemitic piece of shit"

Lol how scared would cousins be all game he probably skate over and apologize right away.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

I haven't seen one person assuming that Cousins meant it as an anti-Semitic gesture; just people pragmatically suggesting that it probably warrants a conversation between the NHL and cousins. If Cousins was unaware, then the worst outcome is that he comes away with a bit of education.

 

[LTIR]

Newsflash, Jewish people aren't the only ones with big noses.
This thread is more racist than that player pointing at his nose.

Yah, but his big air intake valve is a French one, so it's okay to get after him.

I heavily edited my original post and removed a couple.

I let my teen angst take over my hf account. There were a couple of articles earlier this year that made it clear that he would speak out if he felt any ill intent.
