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.
Jewish stereotypes have evolved over centuries and are rooted in historical prejudices, discriminatory practices, and misconceptions. These stereotypes have been perpetuated through literature, media, and cultural narratives, often casting Jews as greedy, cunning, or dishonest. It's important to challenge and debunk these stereotypes to promote understanding and equality.
Most Nazis had no knowledge at all of Jewish culture, only offensive stereotypes of Jews.

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. Many people consider Jews in general to be smart, industrious, optimistic and perseverant.

The Crusades led to significant persecution and violence against Jewish communities in Europe, particularly during the First Crusade in 1096.
