Anti-Semitic prejudice exaggerates Jewish power rather than disparaging incompetence

Evidence

Most workers plainly refuse to acknowledge the existence of a large group of Jewish workers. Either there are no Jewish workers, or they don’t work, and merely pretend to be workers. In addition Jewish workers are accused of escaping hard work, passing the buck, catering to the bosses, doing everything for individual advancement, doing nothing for their fellow-workers. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 392 (#complicates, via linked claim)
