7. I wouldn't say "very rare", but not common.

Also, the numbers are a bit wonky, which is addressed at the end of the article. Though it only brushes by it, from other studies, the higher incidents of anti-Semitism among minorities is almost always connected to religiosity; the more religious, the more anti-Semitic. This is the same with whites as well. This, of course, does not mean religious people are automatically anti-Semitic or that non-religious people aren't/can't be anti-Semitic, it just suggests there is a strong correlation.

What I find more concerning is not who is anti-Semitic, but rather those who ignore it or make excuses for it; enablers. Then there are the "casual" anti-Semites, who may not actually be anti-Semitic, but engage in anti-Semitic rhetoric. Seems some can always find an excuse for anti-Semitism depending on who the target is.
