Jude, Muselmann und Christ, allesamt derselbe Mist

...meine Oma nahm mich auf den Schoß und strich mir über die Haare. Dann sagte sie: **Jude, Muselmann und Christ, allesamt derselbe Mist**. Damit meinte sie, dass alle Menschen, die es auf der Welt gibt, gleichviel wert sind, und das glaube ich auch.
TIA, liebe Leute!

Muslim, Christian or Jew, it's all the same old stew
Ist mal so ein Gedanke.
Ich denke, es sollte sich nach Möglichkeit reimen und man sollte auch den negativen Ausdruck beibehalten. Es klingt nach etwas, was meine Oma auch hätte sagen können, oder andere ältere Leute in meinem Bekanntenkreis. Diese Art Sprüche stammen eben noch aus einer Zeit vor political correctness, aber man wusste offenbar trotzdem, wie sie gemeint waren - vielleicht gerade wegen des Reims, der sie von einer 'normalen' Aussage abhebt.

No matter the colour of your skin, everyone's blood is red
At first glance, I thought something similar to Olav, but the comment, "Damit meinte sie, dass alle Menschen, die es auf der Welt gibt, gleichviel wert sind", makes it clear that this is a statement of how we are all basically the same despite our differences. In English, we would probably emphasise race more than religion, although I guess it would depend on where you live. For example, in Ireland you might say something that refers to Catholics and Protestants.
At any rate, the equivalent saying in English needs to stress our basic sameness notwithstanding external differences. As I see it, the German expression is not actually meant to be disparaging. Hope this has been of some assistance.

Actually, even better might be to add \"underneath\" after \"blood is red\".

All people are equal, be it Jew, Muslim or Christian

: I agree with the translation, but I don't believe in such a statement for we can observe under people exactly the contrary: People are not equal!

Oh, but they are, Wenjer, although there will always be those who live under the misconception that they are God's gift to the world and are therefore more equal than others :)
