I believe this may be the case. I am born and bred New York City. I'm very surprised at the number of people that take offense at what I said. What I said was the honest truth.

My mother can (and will) tell you horrible stories about how children weren't allowed to play with me in my neighborhood.

I honestly didn't think it was such a big deal when I cited it. I cited it as something that would seemingly make most NYC people anti-semitic (many are...way too many). I never have been and never will be. My future children will be Jewish for God's sake! :)

I know allot of Jews with blue eyes and light hair.

I take great offense to the fact that you are being attacked for relating a personal anecdote. I am not familiar with your personal experience therefore I am not in a position to question the veracity of your story. I would certainly hope that all of those who have called you into question for your remarks know you well enough to have done so, otherwise they owe you an apology.
