[quote=Anonymous]Catholic here and while I do agree there is anticatholicism, I do think it mainly focuses on beliefs and church structure. Catholicism is so diverse in every other measure (race, ethnicity socioeconomic, politics) that it is hard to discriminate based on anything other than church teachings.

Cannot say the same about Judaism being diverse. While yes, I'm sure there are Asian and black Jews, the obvious majority are Ashkenazi Jews, so that makes it much easier to murky the water between discrimination based on beliefs vs ethnicity. Also, Jews tend to be very inward looking as a group. There is a lot of focus on the Jewish people's suffering throughout history and remembering that suffering as God's chosen people (and this goes way beyond/precedes holocaust). When you have such an inward looking attitude, it attracts discrimination. Sorry just how it is. Not saying it is justified. Christianity is extremely outward looking, so it wants to reach out and connect and bring people in. I have gone to a lot of Jewish shabbat dinners etc with friends and I have never gotten that impression from Judaism. The feeling is inward, in group vs others, protecting us etc.
