What kind of private school is it, and...

how old are you?<<

Most of family lived in smaller Georgia towns and that was the main place I saw specific anti-jewish sentiment. But it usually didn't come up - they were just white people.

I'm 41 so I was a young child when Atlanta elected Sam Massell, it's first and only Jewish Mayor - so I don't want to over-state the case.

It goes both ways.

I knew a former Federal LEO, (a pretty high up one too), who told me that when he lived in Atlanta, his next door neighbor was Jewish. He said he was the best neighbor he ever had.

On the other hand he lived in New York at one time and moved into a mostly Jewish neighborhood. When they found out he was from Georgia, they were invariably rude and hostile to him.

Funny. My old line Southern mother always taught me the Jews were God's chosen people.
