really? Who? I think its from the stereotype of “stein” being Jewish, when it could be an ending for a non-Jewish germanic person, and then the people are forgetting the numbers of Sephardic, Yemeni, Bene-Israeli, Baghdadi etc. Jews

When Mark Steyn says he’s not Jewish but plays one on TV, he’s not kidding about what some of his audience thinks!
