A White Woman of Color/Bigotry in Utah

It happened again, twice in one month, this must be a record. Bigotry in my face. I'm Caucasian, right? Not according to the White Supremicists in Idaho and other places in our country. You can't tell I am a minority by looking at the color of my skin. But I am a minority, subject to bigotry, ignorance and plain stupidity.

I was in the Smith's store on 33rd South. I went there to buy my Passover food; the local Chabad Rabbi, Bennie Zippel has arranged to have Kosher food and Passover food at this store. Whoo HOOO! We made it! On the same aisle as the Mexican and Latino food. Down the aisle as the Asian food! {My family is hosting the 1st night Seder at our house this year. This is to celebrate Passover, the exodus from Egypt. For those D4U members who don't know, I'd be glad to explain more. Just think of the painting of the Last Supper, that's a seder.}
In addition, it is also Holocaust Memorial Week,a time where we remember the 6 million Jews and other millions of political prisoners, gay/lesbian prisioners and other "unacceptable non Aryans" who were murdered by the Nazis during the 30's and 40's. The University of Utah and the Jewish Community, as well as the Governor of the State commemorate this Holocaust Memorial Week with various events. Jeff Bell at the State Democrats has published more information on the State Party website,yay Jeff, you are my sweet baboo.

I had a yellow cloth Star of David in my purse, which states "Jew and non Jew together". These are being handed out by the University.
So, when I was paying for my medication, the pharmacist said "Oh, they got you, too." I asked him to clarify. He said "Oh, that's about the Nazis in Germany, y'know, they got you too." I told him that wasn't very funny and that I was Jewish. He then proceded to tell me that it would be cool to hang around Jews because they know all these people in Hollywood and they know a lot of people who have money.
I told him that he needed some educating about his stereotyping. He told me "It was just a joke", I reiterated that it wasn't very funny.
I told the manager of the store, who was very kind. I cried all the way home.
