There’s a lot of room between “we’ll take your money and not hang you” and “welcome!”
Big world out there.

Nah it makes sense to say "not unwelcome" as it infers that the vast majority of places would not welcome Jews or POC.

But it is infact incorrect. Welcome implies that people would be polite and friendly. I haven't read any if the Jewish version but at least with the green book it was often that they would say basically " these people will allow you to shop there but they won't be nice.
It more was a guide not to get lynched. Not a guide to get great service.

Well it wasn’t a guide to great service- it was a guide to where the could travel safely, or find any service at all. There was and still are a lot of places in the US where being Jewish is dangerous

I mean, kind of? You are comparing apples to ornges. The Greenbook came in a town where black people could easily die just trying to cross a single state. While yes, I am sure there are places where Jewish people may be in danger, it's not like it's a large amount. And there aren't places where people can easily disappear people anymore.
