oomis, by giving that example I was trying to say that an invention or idea isn’t inherently Jewish simply because a Jew thinks of it, nor is it inherently “goyish” if the inventor/ composer/ writer isn’t Jewish. Is the theory of radiactivity (discovered/ studied by Pierre & Marie Curie) somehow less Jewish than the theory of relativity? I wasn’t trying to be flip, just giving an example to make my point, which is that even if jeans were invented by a non-Jew that in itself doesn’t make them goyish. And if plaid skirts aren’t considered goyish just because they’re worn by Catholic schoolgirls, surely jeans aren’t goyish either.
