Which term describes prejudice against Jews based on religion, ethnicity, or culture?

• A. Religious discrimination
• B. Stereotyping
• C. Anti-Semitism
• D. Xenophobia

Answer: (C)

Prejudice directed specifically at Jews because of their religion, ethnicity, or culture is described as anti-Semitism. This term captures not just dislike of Jewish beliefs, but also negative stereotypes and discriminatory actions tied to a Jewish identity. It can show up in attitudes, language, policies, or violence aimed at Jewish people, whether or not individuals practice the religion.

Religious discrimination targets a faith in general, not specifically the Jewish group. Stereotyping is a broad tendency to oversimplify beliefs about any group. Xenophobia is fear or dislike of people from other countries or unfamiliar groups, not limited to Jews.
