George Orwell: Antisemitism in Britain
It is interesting to compare the “Jew joke” with that other stand-by of the
music halls, the “Scotch joke”, which superficially it resembles. Occasionally a
story is told (e.g. the Jew and the Scotsman who went into a pub together and
both died of thirst) which puts both races on an equality, but in general the
Jew is credited merely with cunning and avarice while the Scotsman is
credited with physical hardihood as well. This is seen, for example, in the
story of the Jew and the Scotsman who go together to a meeting which has been
advertised as free. Unexpectedly there is a collection, and to avoid this the
Jew faints and the Scotsman carries him out. Here the Scotsman performs the
athletic feat of carrying the other. It would seem vaguely wrong if it were the
other way about. |

Не могу вспомнить названиие фильма - из "школьного кинематографа" конца 70-х, черно-белый, про мальчика-авантюриста. Еще помню только одно - герои бепрерывно ходят через какие-то многочисленные железнодорожные пути...
Глупо конечно, но очень хочется выяснить что это, и не приснилось ли мне оно... |
