Oscar ?
If Eros wasn't refering to Jews (which _marranos_ originally does, of  
course), who was he referring to ? From this

it seems rather obvious. He's referring to people of north-african  
descent. 'Marranos' is a racial slur and Eros' post was not only  
strongly chauvinist but racist. (_Marrano_ meaning very much 'pig,  
swine' in modern Spanish).
I don't think there can be a misunderstanding.
