I would see that as just straight up racism. Being fearful of trying something new or exotic because of a backlash of your ingroup is terrible and very clique like, conservative republican like. Sorry that you had to experience that. I personally enjoy experiencing other cultural things, especially foods, and would not miss an opportunity to try new things.
Ya it was a surprise to me because where I used to live, bagels are just another type of bun or something. I didn’t realize they were that widely associated with being Jewish. This group that I graduated with were very concerned about appearing “cringe” so maybe perhaps it has to do with that.
