I'm used to it, it's nothing new for me. It never ceases to sadden me to see ignorance but none are so blind as they who refuse to see.

What's just as bad - is when it comes up in just normal casual conversation and I mention that I"m Jewish and all of a sudden everyone says "Ohhh I LOVE Jewish people!" It's sort of a passive-aggressive apologetic condescension. Like I'm supposed to be thankful that they love Jewish people or something. I can't explain it, but if you'd experienced it yourself, you'd totally get what I mean.
