It depends on the intent of the person saying it.
If the intent is neutral or positive, it is likely referring to someone who is Jewish. The definition of who is Jewish is widely debated. Judaism is passed through the mother's side, so if the person's mother is a Jew then they are also a Jew.
If the intent is negative, it is likely accusing the person who is being called a Jew of having characteristics that Anti-Semites have accorded to Jews, regardless of whether that person is actually Jewish. These characteristics include: greed, miserliness, a bad temper, and complaining incessantly.
