"The statement is because I talk to very few Jewish people. This statement could be incorect entirely as I don't normally ask what a person's religion is, since religion isn't something I'm interested in."
If you 'don't normally ask', then how the hell would you *know* you don't 'talk to very few Jewish people'? You must be basing your statement on *something*, so what is it? A person's surname? Their appearance?
I'm just dying to know. Really.
And this: "The ones I _should_ have access too (ie, family) abandoned the gentile side on the basis of religion."
Okay, on that basis, I should hate all Southern Baptist people from Virginia. My late mother in law was one. She was *horrible* to me (other members of her family, too, fwiw)...said some things to my late husband that were unforgivable.
So, following your logic about your grandmother, I *should* hate *all* Southern Baptists from Virginia, even those whom I don't know.
Can't you even begin to comprehend how *stupid* that is?
And your comment to Nikki that basically goes 'I like you, but not the Jewish you' is just beyond boggling in that you don't understand how bigoted that is. Substitute 'Black' or 'Mexican' or 'Asian' or 'gay' and *maybe* you'll see.
But probably not, because, y'know...that would actually involve using the grey matter between your ears as something else than what holds your bike helmet on your head.
