You have a lot to learn about Dem Uknited Statez Ov Umerika.
I've been a resident all my life, and am attempting to get into law school. I do have a lot to learn, but I'm unlikely to from you.
Ok, try doing a few of those things in public if you think you won't get arrested. And have a fun time getting anally raped in jail by big mean smelly homos.
I have personally done 2 and 6 (whoops now I'm gonna be labelled), and so far I'm fine.
But now, please, I'm surprised this hasn't been asked: Where are you getting this information? Do you have any sources? Or are you spouting things off the top of your head?
So I don't go reading into the intent of the OP are these suppose to be things that under the right conditions will get you arrested in all 50 states? Or does the number of states and conditions in which the criteria are met matter?

It probably doesn't matter. They seem like glaring exaggerations that were meant to be taken as a half-hearted joke with a half-hearted point.
Nothing will get you arrested, except being caught for doing something the government says you can't do. :P
I believe it was the Spartans that had a system of thought like this. As a Spartan boy, if you were caught stealing and brought to your parents about this, the punishment you received was not due to being caught stealing, but from being caught.
Really it depends on the officer. If the cop is a jerk then they might just try to find a reason to arrest you. "But what did I do officer?" "Your shirt totally clashes with your shoes, the colors don't work at all." "But that isn't illegal!" "It is when I'm on the job, because I'm *Puts on sweet shades* The fashion police."

Ha! I love it. Very funny.
Here's one: Policeman sees a man carring plastic bags laden with groceries out of a store.
"You're under arrest, Sir!" "What!? I didn't steal this, I have the receipt, see?" "Don't care! You choose plastic so you're going to jail!" "What?" "Hands behind your back!"
Going to take the same view as the majority posting. None of these single-handedly can get your arrested. Depends on the extent, (I.e - #1,2,) - So i'll start with them
#1
1. Saying anything against Jews
If it's an opinion stated not overly anti-semicitcally it won't get you arrested. If you're being extremely prejudice about Jewish people or to a Jewish person, then you may get arrested.
#2
Saying anything against homosexuals
Now this I know won't get you arrested, due to the amount of homophobic comments thrown at me when I lived in America, in front of police officers and the existence of the Westboro Baptist Church.
#3
Being black
Any Black Americans want to clarify they don't get arrested every time they leave their house? I do agree more Black people are targeted randomly than white, but as stated before it does depend on the officer. Some will use their power to live our their sick racism, but most won't and it won't just be for their colour. What if it were a black police officer? Is he going to arrest someone just because they're black?
Some aren't worth mentioning. Policiticans mention God in public and aren't arrested etc.
7. Shouting the n-word as loud as you can in public 8. Resisting a body cavity search at the airport 9. Smoking in a restaurant
Shouting the n-word should get you arrested but probably doesn't. Resisting a body cavity search should get you arrested if you're seen as a threat. If it didn't, surely we'd be welcoming terrorists to be less smart. Smoking in a restaurant is actually against the law, so thus, of course you would get arrested. It makes sense.
#10.
Lecturing a police officer about your rights
Not unless you're abusive. Had plenty of chats with American cops about rights, mostly a lecture to them, underage and drunk and was simply offered a ride home.
I'm only jumping in because I find most of these ten things to be absolutely insane.
1. Saying anything against Jews
Can't argue with that.
2. Saying anything against homosexuals
Comedy exists you know.
3. Being black
Depends on what the definition of "black" is. But mostly true.
4. Taking a picture of/videoing a police officer
Yup. They really hate that.
5. Starting a chant at a public protest
No.
6. Mentioning God in public
Religion exists you know.
7. Shouting the n-word as loud as you can in public
... what part of the country do you live in? I hear that all the time and not a single person has been arrested.
8. Resisting a body cavity search at the airport
100% true.
9. Smoking in a restaurant
That's case specific. Too many variables to say that being arrested is the absolute end result.
10. Lecturing a police officer about your rights
I would say yes, but again, too many variables. I've seen people (my self included) who have done it and have not been arrested. You need to really be educated though. If you're assuming you know your rights, yes, you will get arrested.
