technically antisemitism is not racism. racism is hate and discrimination, not religion. so although the ppl u are talking about said they are not racist out of pure ignorance, they are kind of right, technically speaking. if you hate mexicans you are racist...because thats a race, but judiasim is a religion. you could be racist if you say u hate israelis, but not jews.
im not saying that antisemitism is right...its a horrible thing, but its not really racism.
