No I feel that he had a point if a bit tactless.

Yeah, he should've pussyfooted around a bit more, lest he cause "offence" - bollocks.

Accusations of racism are often over the top. Bit like Diana Abbot being suspended. Saying that blacks and some others experiences more racism than Jews is not antisemitic. May be true for the obvious reason that blacks and travellers are more easily identifiable, whereas you usually wouldn't know if someone was Jewish unless they are strict Orthodox.

Had a memory of Jack Nicholson saying it: he did in "Chinatown (1974)".

On the other hand to claim that antisemitism isn't as bad as racism against blacks most definitely is racism. Fun fact. White supremacists and the far right hate Jews - regardless of whether they're easily identifiable. The left think Jews are white and so can't experience racism.

There are many well known people who are known to be Jewish and aren't orthodox. They still experience racism.
