He would exalt Hitler and even attacked Lorie Langer, choking her in the 6th grade. He was raised in a single parent family. I doubt that his ideas originated from his passive mother. Since his younger sister was evidently 100% related to him, I could guess that any hand-me-down ideas contributing to his attitude must have originated from his father who once lived with the family.
I once worked with an exremely unpleasant guy in a shop who also negatively commented on Jews. He had a criminal record and probably didn't even finish highschool.
As I was growing up in the 60's it wasn't uncommon to hear stereotypical comments about minorities, depending on what the subject matter was about.
On an upper level, hatred fror George Soros seems to convey towards the entire Jewish spectrum. This is as injust as to blame all Italians for organized crime syndicates or all Irish people for the public drunkeness of a certain percentage.
I like the comparison with the Italiens, it's true! The hand-me-down thing might be true in some cases, but it is far from imperative. As a child I felt the immense insanity and scam of my anti-Semitic environment. As far as I am aware of, I never thought or did anything evil against Jews. I'm not saying this to praise myself, but to show that even a little child can feel the betrayal. And it's not just betrayal of Jews, but of all humans.
