The Shylock test is an IRL old meme (no, srsly: it's been around for at least 100 years!) that has sparked debate over whether it inspired Hitler's final solution.
Background
Shylock was an evil jew character in a Shakespeare play. In the story, he got involved in a flamewar with a Christfag named Antonio who went on welfare and made him lose his jew gold, while his daughter fucked Antonio's BFF, converted, and stole from her dad.
In the play, Shylock begs for sympathy at the end:
—Shylock |
The above quote initiated the meme, and many old media figures have joined in on the fun. Many internet incarnations have been spawned from it, including these:
Furfag version:
"Hath not a Furry eyes? Hath not a Furry paws, organs, fabrics, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, heal'd by the same means, warm'd and cool'd by the same winter and summer as a Human is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Furry wrong a Human, what is his humility? Revenge. If a Human wrong a Furry, what should his sufferance be by Human example? Why, revenge. The villainy you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction."
Nigga version:
"Hath not a Nigga eyes? Hath not a Nigga hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, heal'd by the same means, warm'd and cool'd by the same winter and summer as a Whitey is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Nigga wrong a Whitey, what is his humility? Revenge. If a Whitey wrong a Nigga, what should his sufferance be by Whitey example? Why, revenge. The villainy you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction."
