Since when do I have patience for apologists for anti-semitism?
If you are gentile, I can only say that you show no sensitivity
to the Jewish people.  If you are Jewish, you should remember that
the Verband National-deutscher Juden in Nazi-Germany (Association of    
National-German Jews) excused ALL anti-semitic Nazi actions as
reasonable and without specific malevolent intent.

As a result of my original posting, I got a letter from someone
who heard the term "Jew-ston" from a FELLOW WORKER.  ("Jew-ston"
is Houston, TX).  Or the other insults I got mail about:  "Jew-Town"
in central Chicago, "Jew of R" for U. of Rochester, "B-Jew" for Boston U.,
"Jew-York" for New York, "Jew-liard" for the music school of same name,
etc., etc.

I see no excuses for such name-calling EVEN IF Jews make up a large   
percentage of the population of these universities/cities.
