Term meaning the user has Jewish ancestors. Often overused to refer to some very
distant relatives in the hope it will give them favour over others when dealing with
prospective clients that are either jewish or in the belief that
religious people do jobs better. Also used as an escape from anti-sematic comments.
The paternal
grandfather of my maternal grandmother was Jewish. Therefore I am of jewish descent.
Hitler's
grandfather was jewish (he used to beat his father, and from there was
installed the seed of hatred for judaism) and hence Adolf was of a stronger jewish descent than I.
