I'm guessing it just spices up the babyeating you
envision to add a pinch of gratuitous anti-Semitism
with LOL hilarious "Millistein" gag? Or maybe it was
just unconscious? Only you can say, I'm sure.

"The only Jewish character in the novel is Emmanuel
Goldstein, and maybe only because its original, Leon
Trotsky, was Jewish too. [...] As close as _1984_ gets
to an anti-Semitic moment is in the ritual practice of
Two Minutes Hate" (Pynchon, Foreword, p. xvii).

A gracious man, Pynchon, giving Orwell the benefit of
the doubt with regard to his possible anti-Semitism. 
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, too, Quail,
although I do suggest you consider taking a look at
the ways you may be unintentionally offending people.

"It?" said Oedipa. "Do it? What?"

"Have sexual intercourse," replied Nefastis. "Maybe
there'll be something about China tonight. I like to
do it while they talk about Viet Nam, but China is
best of all. You think about all those Chinese.
Teeming. That profusion of life. It makes it sexier,
right?" (COL49)
