1. I don't "look Jewish"

And my family name was changed at Ellis Island, so i blend in easily with gentiles. I used to happily tell coworkers I am Jewish if the topic came up but I stopped about 6 years ago because of the extent of anti-Zionism. I also am occasionally exposed to antisemitism, because fellow employees will talk about a Jewish employee in a bigoted way not realizing I'm also Jewish.

Makes me feel a little icky, but I don't want to create problems for myself at work etc.
