I have been called a kike before, I have met holacaust deniers, people who assume Jews are all cheap, I have heard you jewed me. But most of these might upset me for their ignorance they rarely offend me, it is when I try to bargain at a store (once at circuit city where I got a receiver for 200 off the listed price) and someone made jewed me comment that bothered me, of course the person who made that comment then wanted the same price I got.
Antisemitism is not just around it seems to be growing.

Do Jews compete against another the same way I compete against another from my own country to serve a slave master ? And if one wins, f..k the loser, forget him, dead or alive who cares. Or do they care also about the loser, even if they own capitalist enterprises ?
Is there a sense of "us" ? Even if one Jew hires another ? |
I think that is a stereotype about Jews which might not be negative but it is still a stereotype. Jews in general (least orthodox ones for sure) since we require the religeous study, and educational is so important tend to be well educated, since we all go to Yeshiva, then do secular studies. I found college easy after all I did in high school. However I would not say we have banking is our natural profession.
With Jews there is always a sense of us, I can travel anywhere in the world meet another Jew and conversation automatically will start up (and we probably know someone who knows someone who knows the other).
