Did u ASK them ?
Why do I need to "ask them?" People with Jewish names working for a Jewish company is pretty simple to conclude they are Jewish. Is that too simple a concept for you?
So, if Florsheim was a "Jewish company," does that mean they sold Jewish shoes? Can the feet of Gentiles feel comfortable in Jewish shoes? Or, do Gentile feet, wearing Jewish shoes, feel like the shoes are acting/feeling superior to their feet?
Just taking your viewpoint to its logical conclusion!
Did your Jewish co-workers realize you had such a biased view of the company you all worked for? I hear that some people of color refer to restaurants as "white," meaning that only white people go there. So, were you really just a non-Jewish employee in a "Jewish company," or possibly you were a "Gentile token" in a "Jewish company." The way to possibly tell would be if you were treated better in some ways (aka, pandered to) than the Jewish employees. Mind you, I am not putting any pejorative meaning to your referring to Florsheim as a Jewish company, since many Gentiles would not be caught dead working for a "Jewish company," since it would be humiliating to their friends back at the "club." Unless of course, it could be rationalized to all that they were getting the better end of the deal, so to speak, by being given a handsome salary, and perquisites.
By the way, I have heard the term "front Gentile" referring to a non-Jew hired specifically to meet and greet the "buyers" from out of town, so the buyers can be wined and dined by a fellow Gentile that they would have more rapport with. But, that was not you. So, it might just be that Florsheim wanted a "smart Asian." I call that positive discrimination.
So, I think it is so educated of you to brand a company Jewish because the owner(s) would be Jewish by religion. I will have to remember this the next time I shop. Perhaps, I have been ignorant all along when I shop at an Asian owned market for tea or cookies or canned fish?
So, I must be a Jewish poster, and you are a Japanese-American poster. Can I also be a white poster? I think your pigeon-holing a company, based on who owns it is really so European. Perhaps, even old-fashioned New World.
