  Three flavors of anti-semitism Weird confluence of hidden/upper-class, blatant/lower-class, and totally paranoid anti-semitism crossing my path lately in a weird three-day period

1. Hidden/Upper-class (Saturday):My extremely gentile looking half-breed friend tells me her boss was chatting idlely to her on the plane about the big problem of "finding a summer camp that's not 80% Jewish"

2. Blatant/Lower-class (Sunday): As my wife and I are walking in the street in downtown Providence, a random group of drunk yahoos yell from a car "You're Jewish" (at least I assume they are a random group of drunk yahoos. Perhaps they were an overly aggressive Chabad group).

3. Totally paranoid (Monday): As I pick up my rental car in Cincinnati (really, Kentucky), the attendant looks at my Hertz One Gold rental agreement and Rhode Island license and says "When did you you move out of New York?" I said "WHAT?" But of course he just said, "You should update your Hertz profile." Which is what he had been looking at, not my nose or beard. Oy.  ¶ 5:19 PM 0 comments
