Yo. Do you ever deal with people making the fact you are a Jew your in defining feature? My Jewish friend etc?

Kinda, but I market myself as the Jewish friend who doesn't actually know or care much about Judaism, so if anything, it's self-inflicted (in a good way - I like having a defining characteristic instead of just being another generic straight white guy)

If someone wanted to play the whole "I have a Jewish friend" card and refer to me, I would laugh and/or be honored. But for those who are bothered when people refer to them that way, I can sorta understand where they're coming from. Wouldn't fault anyone for taking offense to being the token friend. It just doesn't even remotely bother me personally.

So I guess when you say "deal with," the answer is technically yes, but I certainly don't mean "deal with" in the bad way that phrase usually denotes.
