If I were to say to Martillo that the Jewishness of Sefardim is questionable
at best because what Sefardim consider Jewishness is basically some barbaric
set of customs picked up in a variety of countries over the last couple
of centuries, and that I would not refer to his actionsas "Jewish" unless
he was acting in a recognizably Jewish way by Ashkenazic standards, he would
probably call me a name like "vusvus".
