>-- Why, sir? Stephen asked, beginning to smile.
>-- Because she never let them in, Mr Deasy said solemnly.
>A coughball of laughter leaped from his throat dragging after it a rattling chain of phlegm. He turned back quickly, coughing, laughing, his lifted arms waving to the air.
>-- She never let them in, he cried again through his laughter as he stamped on gaitered feet over the gravel of the path. That's why.

Just marathoned Chapter 2 and dropped this book like a hot sack of shit. This isn't redpilled. Mr. Deasy did nothing wrong. He's just looking out for his hard-earned money. DEDALUS IS JUST A JEALOUS PUNK ASS BITCHokay seriously though, why is it so many great works of literature feel they have to sound off about der jude? even in tons of novels before 1945. whether they were for or against them, they still thought they had to get their 2 cents in. it's almost as though to be considered literature you had to say something about the jews, even though some surprisingly anti-jew sentiments run in some of the works still considered to be in the modern canon.

The Jews were widely disliked at the time and whether or not you followed the sentiment, you still encountered it in weekly life.

Because Joyce saw tons of casual anti-semitism in Irish culture and felt that it was misplaced. He was antisemitic in his youth too and felt bad.
I don't think that part is actually particular to jews though honestly, it's just prejudice in general. The joke of Deasy's joke is that 2 chapters later a jew in Ireland becomes the main character. Deasy is an idiot.
