A Cornell University student turned down a job interview with a New York company because he found out it is owned by Jews.

In response to New York City startup VryfID contacting him after he applied for a summer internship, Austin Franco wrote back, "Not interested in working for a Jew," the New York Post reported on Saturday.

VryfID, which links renters with landlords using a system aimed at preventing fraud, was co-founded by brothers Gabe and Aiden Einhorn, described in the report as "proudly Jewish."
