If anyone's seen Jewpacabra, they would have witnessed Eric initially choosing to convert to Judaism after his epiphanic dream and somewhat...reconciles with Kyle I suppose.

Now, some may argue that he still has denounced the religion itself as he has said in the latter episodes: From I Should Have Never Gone Ziplining

From Insecurity

And though he was verbally attacked the Jews, it's possible that even with his visible fear of Kyle's explaination, that this is more of a natural habit of his. After all, one of his trademark characteristics was constant prejudice towards Kyle for being Jewish, and it would make sense that the writers wouldn't drop such a long running thing with him entirely.

I feel though that he generally aims his hate more towards Kyle though and says those things purely to irk him. I mean, sure prior episodes have shown otherwise, but the latter ones after that point in Jewpacabra were moreso aimed at Kyle, showing that while Cartman may have fearfully converted after his dream to the faith, he still would butt heads with the other. As it has been the entire function of their relationship. And perhaps the constant use of Jewish slander is because it's a natural habit of his, and he has been known to have a difficult time breaking any habits of him even when there was something he could gain out of it.

So, I think that even though he did convert, he's just naturally use to showing a prejudicial and racist attitude towards various things even to something he goes by. I mean, he has poked fun at his church and its stereotypes as well, but he had remained a Roman Catholic most of the show's duration. So it just proves that this attitude is likely just how his personality is.

Though, I feel that Trey and Matt might somehow try to divert it and say it wasn't for real, kind of like with You're Getting Old and Assperger's when they made it seem like the end and stuff. Still, I'd like to think that Cartman may a Jew himself.
