In Euro we were having a discussion, and the teacher asked, "What did some people think some causes were?" and one of the students replied "They blamed the Jews and beat up and killed some of them for it." then the teacher replied, "Yeah, kill the Jews, nothing new to us, any other reasons?" And I burst out laughing. It wasn't so much about the Jews as it was the way he said it and the context, because most of the way he speaks is monotone, and just hearing it that way was ROFL. Another student looks all offended(not even Jewish, Polish actually) and said, "Wow, you are so mean." But then my friend, who is Jewish, said, "What are you talking about? I thought it was funny too." The teacher didn't seem to lean one way or the other.

So in your opinion, does it make me racist? I'd say no, but a few people after class told me I was.

It is just intolerance against a religion.
