is anti-semitism racist or not, because this guy at the bar I frequent is convinced that Birth Of A Nation was produced by Jews & that the Jews control the media etc etc
I know it sucks either way just wanted 2 know ur opinions

Of course anti-semitism is racism. It's just that racism against Jews has acquired a term of its own, probably because discriminating them has been so prominent historically.
Where it gets tricky is when anti-Israel or anti-Zionist statements are equated with anti-semitism; of course some anti-Israel/anti-Zionist people are also anti-semitists/racists, but many of them aren't. But your case is pretty obviously racist because the target is Jews as a whole, not Israeli politics or anything.

Ca. 300 Finnish Jews fought in the War alongside the German Army[3][4]. The field synagogue operated by the Finnish army was probably a unique phenomenon in Europe.

so like, on a pitchfork scale of 0.0 to 10.0, where 10.0 is a lynching, and 0.0 is Martin Luther King Jr. enjoying a cup of coffee while making breakfast, in his pajamas, humming a soft song to himself, where would the MacBook Pro thing fall? where does this comment fall?
I think this thread, while started with the noblest of intentions, has been a failure. And the reason I believe it has failed is that we (as a society) are so resigned to simply declaring something racist or not, as if it's binary, instead of attempting to quantify exactly how racist something really is, using numerical scales.

Exactly, this thread isn't about being outraged at these things, it's about discussing them, and learning from them, and analyzing peoples motivations, gaining valuable insight into contemporary race relations, and proposing solutions for a more equitable society. Which is why it is essentially ineffectual, and why we should focus on merely assigning submitted material a score.

the "tu quoque" line of arguing is always suspect, like, when minorities claim racist double standards, they're usually talking about things that actually not a big deal that they get disproportionate criticism for while white people get none.
they're not saying "WELL YEAH I MURDERED SOMEONE AT A CHUCK E CHEESE BUT IT'S OK BECAUSE OTHER RACES MURDER AND NOBODY CRITICIZES THEM FOR KILLING PEOPLE". not to mention, Adrian Peterson's child abuse got him indicted and his career destroyed, so, uhm, yeah, people do actually care about it, beating your kid like is actually illegal, and AP probably got way more flack than a white player would have gotten in the same circumstance.

For those who can't see it, the tweet reads: "Last summer, I disguised myself as a Black man and traveled throughout the United States to document how racism persists in American society.
Writing Seven Shoulders was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done as a journalist.
It’s out on May 30th"
And here's a picture of Mr. Blackface himself:
