    As someone of Jewish heritage, I agree there was anti-Semitism attached to the idea in the past, it’s passed into public discourse as a joke without that malice attached, especially as people were laughing at nutters like David Ike, that I don’t see the harm in it at this point.

      As a fellow Jew, I agree, but it’s worth noting. I wouldn’t ever call someone an antisemite for referring to someone as a lizard-person, because at this point no one intends it that way. I have a friend who’s pretty receptive to social justice issues and mentioned it to her recently just as an interesting point of conversation.
