The fact is, the bar for what is acceptable in terms of anti-Jewish remarks is set far lower around here than anti-black remarks, anti-gay remarks and anti-women remarks. There's no contest. It's not even close. If someone made sweeping negative generalizations about homosexuals, they'd be branded a homophobe. If someone made sweeping negative negative generazations about African Americans, they'd be branded a bigot. If someone made sweeping negative generalizations about women, they'd be branded a sexist.

But if someone makes sweeping negative generalizations about Jews, they're as likely to be applauded as condemned.
