A pop-star artists by the name of Macklemore recently sported the most famous fake-nose in his hip-hop since Humpty-Hump, but folks arent laughing with him, rather criticizing him. A Seattle, Washington, rapper wore a long hooked nose, fake black beard and wig, and a black jacket for his performance of his hit, Thrift Shop Friday at EMP Museum, celebrating the opening of the exhibit Spectacle: The Music Video. The announcement of the event called for people to Dress as your favorite music icon or video character. The outfit, intentionally or not, mirrored centuries and generations of monolithic stereotypes of Jewish people. In one unfortunate moment, he even gives what appears to be a Nazi salute, although that surely cant be on purpose. As The Daily Dot puts it and explains, he opted to perform dressed as some kind of Jewish caricature, prosthetic schnozz included. Actor Seth Rogen gave a sharper response, tweeting: first you trick people into thinking youre a rapper, now you trick them into thinking youre Jewish? Jensen-Gerard Karp, an art dealer and produce formerly known as the rapper Hot Karl, noted that the song is about saving money, fitting into another Jewish stereotype!
