it, ah, isn't *that* hard, actually. I grew up in the reasonably cosmopolitan VA suburbs of DC and I knew approximately four Jewish people. I never met any Puerto Ricans until I moved to NYC, either.

Since then I've lived in an Orthodox neighborhood in Pittsburgh and I now work for a beneficiary agency of a northern NJ Federation, so obviously my horizons have been expanded in that department. :)

It does seem to be fairly common, but I can't wrap my mind around it. It feels like meeting someone from the wrong century or something- I always want to say, "Really? Really? Maybe you met one and just didn't know they were Jewish!"

I think that is surely true, but then I also think that Jewishness is perhaps still a secret that's kept some places, even in this country.
