That's right. I thought Shylock was anti-semitic, but it's the play as a whole that has been criticized for that by virtue of the portrayal of Shylock.
I think at this point I'm leaning towards "Render and/or Jackal are just messing with us".
As for being different, it appears we all have abilities and are slightly different creatures in our own right.
