Can you imagine how many times people around him who are not illiterate (including his parents) used the term Shylock for it to come to mind so easily? He claims he never heard it as a reference to Jews, but only to usurious bankers. Even if we believe that, it means he's absolutely swimming in antisemitism his entire life.

Disgraceful.
