I never thought that you would. Even though Jewish hypersensitivity is well justified, it's still hypersensitivity. I try to guard against it. Whatever one thinks, he's probably not going to be right all of the time, which is probably a good reason to think more than speak.

There's a story about a Yid who was telling his friend about applying for a job as a radio announcer. In the end, he didn't get the job. According to him, "The-the-the-the-the interviewer wa-wa-wa-was an anti-Se-Se-Se-Se-Semite!"

Funny story...

When I tell people that I'm Jewish, I just kinda stand there and wait And watch their face and just gauge their reaction to that information...

I reckon you can learn a bit that way. As it happens, I have a very obvious Jewish appearance, so, given standard American manners, I perhaps don't get exposed to a certain amount of anti-Jewish feeling that may be out there.

I occasionally wonder about the difference between prevailing reality and what I myself am actually exposed to. But I certainly don't spend much time on it, or worry about it.

People in high school thought I looked Jewish, but that was long before I discovered the little secret my grandmother wasn't talking about...
