Correct.

I will be 40 this year, and I can't say I have heard that often myself. At least in my personal life that is. Where do I hear about it? In the media. It seems there is always some article, movie, tv show, or something talking about the anti-semitism of this or that.

Where I actually here this disdain is for the Paki, Indian, Arabs, Muslims, etc. locally. However, in the past I have heard it about the blacks to some degree. We have a decent number of Mexicans, Japanaese and Koreans around as well.

That being said, out of all the different local ethnic groups or choices for racists, I can't say I hear about hatred for "the jew" ranking in the top 10. By contrast in the media, or movies, you hear about it constantly as if they were the only group who's ever had anything done to them throughout history.

It tends to get old with the "look at me" media coverage.
