There's some Jew in you

Coworker: And your pocketbook is purple, too!

Me: Yeah, I like it. I got it from the street vender up the block. I actually bargained him down for it.

Coworker: So you got some Jew in you.

Me: I AM Jewish.

*nervous giggle from her and other coworker*

Me: Watch that stereotype there.

*she goes to talk about other coworker about business and ignores me*

That is outrageous and completely unacceptable. What's worse is that she didn't even apologize.

You should report her to the HR department.

Yup. Her friend at work thinks she may not have even registered I was angry.

For a number of reasons, that's not a good idea. Be careful about giving that advice to someone--I've probably given it to people in the past who I shouldn't have given it without qualifications either.
