No-name Rapper Macklemore just ruined his 'career' by donning a fake crooked 'Jew nose' fake 'Jew beard' and got on stage to sing a song about money... His act was outwardly 'antisemitic' although he claims he had no intention of mocking the Jewish people...

The Seattle 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-old sterotypes of Jews. In one unfortunate moment, he even gives what appears to be a Nazi salute, although that surely can't be on purpose.
As The Daily Dot put it, "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 you're a rapper, now you trick them into thinking you're Jewish?"
Jensen-Gerard Karp, an art dealer and producer formerly known as the rapper Hot Karl, noted that the song is about saving money, fitting into another Jewish stereotype.
Macklemore said it ain't so, tweeting: "A fake witches nose, wig, and beard = random costume. Not my idea of a stereotype of anybody."
