COMMENT: "... the basic problem of the Jewish people was that they married their cousins ..."


So what does the world's most powerful media mogul think of "the Jewish people"? Here's what happened during a recent interview with Michael Wolff of Vanity Fair ...


All right, he’s not quite a liberal. He remains a militant free-marketeer and is still pro-war (grudgingly, he’s retreated a bit). And there was the moment, one afternoon, when over a glass of his favorite coconut water (meant to increase electrolytes) he was propounding the genetic theory that the basic problem of the Jewish people was that they married their cousins.

Yep, Jews are all from the same part of Adelaide. Go figure.


UPDATE I: A university researcher has some interesting views about cousin marriage. I couldn't help but notice the name of the university.
UPDATE II: Woops, I made a typo. Replace "Jewish" with "Muslim" and "Jews" with "Muslims". Now, that reads a little less offensively, doesn't it?
