What did I say that was anti-semetic? I implied Jewish people are pre-dominantly democrats. They are.

Why is that such a trigger? It's no different than saying, "Non college white votes for Trump - news @ 11".

You guys REALLY get triggered by generalizations, don't you?

1. He was not identified as a Jew. He is a highly-successful businessman with a German surname. Not every such person is a Jew. Heck, I have been smeared for being Jewish because of my surname, my political views, and something that I seek to not discuss at this point.

2. It is an oddity that a wealthy Jew is a conservative active in the Republican party. Yes, I know about Sheldon Adelson... but who doesn't?

3. Lots of white people without college degrees vote Democratic. The real divide is between fundamentalist/evangelical Protestants  (who vote heavily for Republicans) and other white people (who don't vote so heavily for Republicans). The distinction between college-educated white people and non-college-educated white people in electoral demographics is that fundamentalist and evangelical Christians are less likely to complete college degrees due to the anti-intellectualism that so permeates their religious culture.  Try offering an essay promoting young-earth creationism in a first-rate college, and see where that gets you.
