My parents divorced when I was very young. My mother is not Jewish (although has significant ashkenazic ancestry from 23andme) and my father is Jewish. I was raised in both homes but have mostly a secular philosophy. That said, it really bothers me when my mother says anti-Semitic /micro-aggressive things like: – you are so good with money because you are Jewish – you look so Jewish (points to my nose) – you are a classic Jewish mother (in reference to my parenting, closeness with my child) – you don’t like to share, so Jewish (insinuating I’m greedy because I have boundaries)
How do I explain to her that what she says is anti-Semitic? Her response has been “I’m not! I’m just saying the truth! Your father is Jewish! How can I be antisemitic!?”
Please help me explain. Thank you for your help
