I too am an ignorant bigot, according to quite a number of posters who disagree
with my views about Germans, but genuinely do have a PhD (although not from
Oxford), so bigotry does not necessarily establish that the person concerned
is not educated, nor even incapable of rational thought.  Bigotry is, in any
case, a subjective description.

The black case against the jews is, as I understand it, that the blacks
are oftenn exploited by jews, and in the US (particularly in New York)
this is frequently true as much of the low-standard housing in the poorest
areas of Mnhattan, Brklyn and Brnx is jewish-owned.  The owners actually
exploit the tenants rather than blacks, it just happens that the majority
of those tenants are black.  The same is true, to a much lesser extent, in
certain areas of North and East London, but most of the sub-standard housing
these days is owned by local government and only a few blocks are owned by
jews (mostly Hassidic).

I once lived in one of these areas, Hackney, in ultra-low standard housing
owned by the local authority.  Amongst the many problems living on my housing
estate, there were always problems with my telephone which exhibited an unusual
defect in which my calls would frequently be interupted by the sound of
other calling dialing on my line.  On one ocassion I was talking on the line
to someone and a voice cut in saying "hello, hello, this is the telephone
engineer - I understand you are having problems with people cutting in on
your line"!.  I said I was and he explained the fault as follows:

"This is a common problem in your area, and it's due to the large number of
religious jews who live there"
"are you telling me", I asked, "that the jews are somehow causing electronic
defects in the telephone exchange?"
"Yes", he replied, "these people's religious persuasion requires them to take
their phones of the hooks on Friday afternoon and leave them off 'til Sunday"
"Really!, I hadn't realised that the Talmud had anything to say about 
telephones."
"Yes", he said, "some people dance round totem poles, some go to churches and
pray, and these jews take their phones off the hooks"
"And how does that cause my phone problem?", I asked.
"Well the telephone equipment was not designed to cater for high concentrations
of religious fanatics, and when they all take their phones off the hook at the
same time it causes all the uniselectors to seize lines simultaneously, leaving
none available for other users.  When someone else tries to get a line, the
equipment goes haywre and cuts into lines already in use"

After he called I offered his explanation to trhe head office of the Telephone
Company, asking if they would like to confirm that Hassidim are the cause
of telephone problems in Hackney.  They declined, and claimed they had disciplined
the engineer in question
