Editing Kingsley Amis (section)

===Antisemitism===
Amis had an unclear relationship with [[antisemitism]], which he sometimes expressed but also claimed to dislike.<ref>[[Anthony Julius]], ''[[Trials of the Diaspora, A History of Anti-Semitism in England]]'', [[Oxford University Press]], 2010, pp. 357–358.</ref> He occasionally speculated on the commonly advanced Jewish stereotypes. Antisemitism was sometimes present in his conversations and letters to friends and associates, such as "The great Jewish vice is glibness, fluency ... also possibly just bullshit, as in [[Karl Marx|Marx]], [[Sigmund Freud|Freud]], [[Herbert Marcuse|Marcuse]]", or "[[Charlie Chaplin|Chaplin]] [who was not Jewish] is a horse's arse. He's a Jeeeew you see, like the [[Marx Brothers]], like [[Danny Kaye]]." It is a minor theme in his ''Stanley and the Women'' novel about a paranoid schizophrenic<!-- !  check for tone -->. As for the cultural complexion of the United States, Amis had this to say: "I've finally worked out why I don't like Americans ... . Because everyone there is either a Jew or a hick." Amis himself described his antisemitism as "very mild".<ref>Julius, p. 358.</ref>
