I would disagree that Jews can pass, even though other people can be mistaken for Jews
I agree.
I had a friend in high school write in my yearbook "For a Jew, you're not that bad". For the life of him, he couldn't understand how I could possibly take offense.
Then I got to college and one of my roommates asked me very politely if I would show him my horns, because he'd never met a Jew before and he wanted to know what they looked like.
I've always been convinced that American antisemitism is deeply ingrained.
