"The fact that he's Jewish means I find it very suspicious that

Peter, I'm not remotely rascist"
No ones accusing you of being a racist . Jew is a Religion (just like
Islam) and not a race of people, so its impossible to be a racist for being
derogatory towards Jews.
So why do you feel the need to mention that he is Jewish?
Dont worry , its not a witch hunt . I just wondered why you feel that him
being Jewish means that you find it suspicious . Should nt people be judged
on what they do or say rather than where they pray ?
Is your last paragraph connected ?
"I just know what people from that strata of
society are like. Largely, they don't give a flying shit about you,
me or anyone else. Don't say I didn't warn you."
