If he actually *is* Jewish, I suppose he is allowed to make such

At school in Yorkshire in the 1960s "to jew" was a transitive verb

To use Scottish in the same context is somewhat less offensive (but
still rude), as no-one has victimised the Scots for some centuries; and
then it was largely other Scots.
