I may consider swiping it: "secondary anti-Semite". Hmmm...like a secondary infection. Though, I call what he and others like him do, "soft bigotry." Like you said, he isn't calling us "kikes" or "stiff arm saluting" but he does exhibit behaviors and spews classic anti-Semitic tropes. IMO, they can be worse because they don't realize they are bigots, and therefore, don't even attempt to change their behaviors because they are convinced they aren't bigots. I see lots of that in other areas too.
