I have no idea why you are making fun of my personal family history. Its ridiculous in the context of your marked proclivity to parade yours. Perhaps if I had said that my father was a poor Jewish kid and the son of immigrant family, whose mother was so angry and frustrated by the conditions of working class life in Chicago that she viciously beat his head against a radiator, you might have taken a different tack. 

That said, I will get back to you about your misinformation about 19th century and early 20 century Europe later. For one thing, descrimination continued in various forms throughout Europe despite the "emancipation". Franz Joseph repealed parts of the 1848 law by 1850 in Germany, as one example. Further, social attitudes and exclusion, are as much a part of official prejudice as the written law. One has to go no further than the Dreyfuss Affair to see this plainly.

We don't see any Jewish officers of the Canadian military being put up on phoney charges of collaborating with the Taliban, now do we? The idea of that is indeed a "chuckle", and a "hearty" one at that.
