What is racist antisemitism?

Many scholars distinguish between anti-Judaism, which was directed against the Jews as a religious group and the 'new' antisemitism that arose from about 1870 onwards, which was based on 'race' rather than religion. Usually, traditional anti-Judaism was not concerned very much with ancestry but generally only with current religion. (There were some exceptions, the key one being in Spain, where converts from Judaism to Christianity were often called 'New Christians' for generations after their conversion). Racial antisemitism, on the other hand sees Jews as a race and focuses on a person's origins ... For example, in Nazi Germany, people 'accused' of being Jewish had to produce certificates of baptism for all four grandparents. (In practice, there was overlap between the two kinds of antisemitism).
