There's some Jew in you

[lavendertook]

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*

I would be jaw-droppingly shocked (and am most definitely jaw-droppingly appalled) if I hadn't spent last summer working with someone who thought it was awesome to say (to the only Jewish person working on our floor) "Don't jew me!" over and over and over.

I'm so sorry you have to work with such an unmitigated ass.

Oy! How did that someone deal with this continued harrassment?

Thank you. *hugs* But since I don't always have my pants all the way on, we'll see if her pantsless state is temporary or her modus operandi--I don't really know yet.
