I took a metal detector to the beach once and all I got was antisemitic slurs. I’m not even Jewish; those bigots just assumed so.

Me and my BF have had a similar experience, I had my recording equipment and he had his metal detector, and I guess both of these things are semitic stereotypes because we were both hated upon for these two things. Neither of us were Jewish, I'm a Christian (more or less if one wants to argue the semantics) and he being an unspecific mix of things.
