Actually it is a racist statement.

Just as racist as somebody saying black guys are hated only because they have bigger dicks.
Just because you try to sugar coat the remark, doesn't make it any less racist.

It was not meant to start a flame war, but to point out the lack of historical knowledge as to the deep-seated hatred of jews by certain cultures.

SuperChuck filled in the details for him quite well, however much nicer than I would have.

It was a stereotypical racist comment, and whether from ignorance or not, still racist.
