  No ones accusing you of being a racist . Jew is a Religion (just like 
Islam) and not a race of people, so its impossible to be a racist for being 
derogatory towards Jews.
  So why do you feel the need to mention that he is Jewish?
Dont worry , its not a witch hunt . I just wondered why you feel that him 
being Jewish means that you find it suspicious . Should nt people be judged 
on what they do or say rather than where they pray ?
   Is your last paragraph connected ?

   "I just know what people from that strata of
society are like. Largely, they don't give a flying shit about you,
me or anyone else. Don't say I didn't warn you."
