Answer:

Because she was expected to be intolerant of the Jews.

Explanation:

Erica was expected to have an intolerant stance towards Jews, where she would make disparaging remarks and that does not encourage a good feeling towards Jews. However, she comments positively, acknowledging that there are good and courageous Jews and asking if everyone is that way, or if only a few have this quality.
