Most peoples (and religions) are steotyped and many of the stereotypes are not flattering. In the case of the Jews it's well known that many of the stereotypes are offensive and inflammatory. The same goes for traditional stereotypes of Blacks, for example. Often stereotypes seem to have originated with people who did not have much knowledge or understanding of the people they were stereotyping, and some stereotypes are caricatures and political Propaganda.

Someone called you a jew and im not jewish why?
Let's hope it was meant as something other than a case of bigotry. However, unfortunately some people would have a bigoted stereotype in mind when doing that. I prefer not to spell out the stereotypes in detail. It may be worth noting that it could depend on their gestures and tone of voice too, since there are some positive Jewish stereotypes also.
