The ____ despises the simple people of rural America while celebrating pompous intellectuals and third world illiterates

If he had said that of Chinese, Cubans, Arabs, African-Americans, Jews, etc. - it would have been pulled as racism or anti-Semitism.

But not if said about a group of believers.

On "open" Religion Forum threads, the following statements (though tacky) are allowed: "Scientologists are crazy" "Mormons are irrational" "Protestants are going to hell" "Catholics despise simple people."

Then could ZC say "the followers of the Jewish religion ...."?

Being Jewish is a mixture of ethnicity and religion MAINLY, yes, hence it is a difference, so these rules makes it impossible to criticize their religion without breaking the rules you just said.

What about the case of Zionist Conspirator or say Miles Davis Junior who are NOT Jewish by "race" but by religion? does the statement "the followers of the Jewish religion ...." hold true for them or are they also covered by the protective anti-racist umbrella?

I know it's a difficult question.
