    I don’t think you’re being racist or anti-Semitic, you’re just projecting your idea of what looks ‘silly’ onto someone else. Many orthodox Jewish men dress this way. The beards and curls (‘payess’) are in obedience to Old Testament law; the black hats and coats are at least in part based in history (Hasidic Jews in Eastern Europe). By the way, I wear two small squares of cloth, connected by chains or cords, around my shoulders (under my shirt); this is called a ‘scapular’ and is worn by many traditionalist Catholics. Many people would regard this as ‘silly’ too.
