Spanish Town Mulls Over Name Change; No Kidding

You mean to tell me they have lived with this name all these years? Says a lot about where they stand on, you know, racism.

What's the matter with them? Too much paella in the diet?

How does this conversation even begin?

First Man (scratches his head): Manuel I think maybe it's about time we change the name of our town?
Second Man (cutting cheese): Why what's wrong with it, Raul?
Raul: I mean, Kill Jews? Doesn't that strike you as dated?
Manuel: You a Jew lover or something?
Raul: No, no. Don't get me wrong. I think they be foul what, with their smoked meat and bagels. It's just that, it doesn't feel very Christian of us.
Manuel: Fine. Fine. We'll take it to the other 60 families. We'll see what they say. Take it from there. Come. I want to show you something.
Raul: What is it?
Manuel: It's the Running of the Jews. A tradition in Kazakhstan...

From UPI:

"Frankly it doesn't surprise me that there's a village called Kill the Jews, though it's pretty disgusting that it's taken them till now to think it might be a good idea to change it,” a Jewish American living in Spain told the Guardian. “There's a casual racism in Spain that no one here seems to notice but which is quite shocking to an outsider. People say 'he's a bit of a Jew' and stuff like that and no one seems to notice. Plus Spain is in complete denial about its Jewish and Muslim history."

Spain is home to about 12,000 Jews, compared with 290,000 in the U.K. and 478,000 in France."

Roughly 118 000 in Germany and 18 000 in Italy.
