Holocaust institute creator finds racist, anti-Semitic 'jokes' on Amazon cutting boards
When Stephen Kaufman, a New Jersey professor, bought new cutting boards on Amazon.com, he was shocked to find the backside of the product's label riddled with racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic "jokes."
Kaufman, who co-founded the Raritan Valley Community College (RVCC) Holocaust & Genocide Institute, ordered the bamboo cutting boards, which came in a pack of three, on Amazon around July 13. The cutting boards cost $11.87 and were sold by Amazon vendor DeBell.
The cutting boards are innocuous at first glance, measuring 13.5 inches by 9.5 inches. Affixed to the front of the boards is a green and white label with images of carrots, lettuce, oranges, sliced lemons and other fruits and vegetables.
When flipped to the backside, however, the label takes a turn from the cornucopia-esque theme.
