Antisemitic? The article specifically mentioned he was jewish at the start. I said jews seem to be pretty good intellectually. (Einstein came to mind).

How are you twisting that to be antisemitic?

Perhaps it wasn't meant to be antisemitic, but that's how it came across at first.

And obviously there are others that probably agree considering it was flagged.

Your comment made it about a religious/ethnic group when that generally is not appropriate.
