I’m thinking less Braavos and more like some of the other free cities and further east like Qarth and the various Ghiscari cities. Things like greedy merchants, large noses, lack of fighting ability, being underhanded and untrustworthy; it’s like Jewish stereotypes were shattered and scattered to the winds. Maybe I’m grasping at straws, but taken as a whole it feels a little suspicious.
are you taking multiple different groups as a whole? that seems weird. all those things are normal shit people could be, have, or do as long as they’re not stacked up on one caricature

I took it as more orientalism than anti-Semitic. The unruly dangerous and treacherous east.
