If you are looking for reasons that people wonder about your feelings about Jews this would be a good place to start. This flip joke is hurtful. It displays an insensitivity to the feelings of Jews concerning Hitler. Me: It also displays a rather astonishing ignorance of history since it is not, of course, true. Neither his mother or his grandmother were Jewish. Gautam
