Everyone knows Jewish people tend to be more stingy than most. I don't think it's a rude thing to point out because it isn't even a bad quality for a person to have. If anything she should not bring it up because it's not PC and she's at work. This isn't a big deal at all.

Question: How would this observation differ from someone saying that African-American's are more prone to commit crime? I would see these two observations in the same category, which neither would be really appropriate in the workplace, although I would never really care.

Curious, not offended.

Being prone to commit crime is a bad quality. Being stingy is not.

Alright, can we amend the title of the thread and replace "my boss" with a wider encompassing description?

Unless Reggs is texas_jack's boss of course

They ARE stingy, aren't they? Maybe your boss is on to something, I suggest you take her out after hour to discuss what "these people" are up to, they might be up to something affecting the city's water, you need to get active. If you need reading materials to discover more, feel free to ask in this thread.

Here is some additional reading materials from a VERY credible source:

"The Jews claim that they are "only" a religion. The truth is that the Jews are a RACE. Less than 30% are members of any Synagogue. Whether they are Orthodox religious, atheists, capitalists or communists -- they still claim to be Jews -- members of the Jewish race! Every race has inherited traits. In the case of the Jews they include trading, money-changing, usury, and a loathing for "productive labor" which is scorned as beneath the dignity of the Jews in their "bible" called "THE TALMUD." "

If you are Jewish and find her comments offensive and creating a hostile work environment, then document the comments and actions and complain to HR & the EEOC. Make some money out of it.
If your not Jewish and she just talks that way, you will likely hear much worse in your career/life. If she's a decent boss in other respects, learn to ignore it. If you find her a ***** and want to hurt her, see my first comment.:)

Don't do this. This creates a mark on you. I don't know how closely your field operates but I'd never hire someone who filed an EEOC complaint for a "hostile work environment." See how this dumb bint Pao is being beat up for her lawsuit.
