Anti-semitism still seems acceptable to some people, and I just don't get it. People make comments that they wouldn't make anymore about racial minorities, and people even seem to hide their anti-homosexual prejudices.
Anyway, I have heard comments like this recently, and I think they're more common in other parts of the country than they are in New York. I have heard people use "Jew" as a derogatory verb, and I've certainly heard derisive references to the practices of Jews. That sucks, but it still goes on. I always wonder if those kinds of prejudices will still be around in 100 years, or if we will all just have fucked each other beige (and culturally beige, too) by then.
I never hear that shit from clients, though. Maybe it's the kind of stuff that I do, or the kind of clients I have, but I'm amazed that there are people out there being that obvious about their prejudices in a business context.
