Or is that just post-WWII revisionism?

Define "Europe".  I don't think the US was considered less anti-Semitic than other countries in the Anglosphere, but compared to most of continental Europe, the Anglosphere was perceived as less anti-Semitic. Being less anti-Semitic gave Protestants a reason to believe they were more Christian than the Catholics.

I had continental Europe in mind when I said "Europe". Why did some Protestants think that less anti-Semitic = more Christian?

I was being facetious, but it is true that Protestant areas weren't quite as anti-Semitic as Catholic areas of Europe. If I must be serious, I'd say that was because their focus was more on anti-Romanism than anti-Semitism. Jews might be undesirable, but they weren't a threat like the Papists were.

I heard that W.E.B. DuBois said, during the 1920's, that he'd rather be Black in the American South than Jewish in Germany.

Historically, Eastern Europe was far more antisemitic than Germany or the US. There was lots of pogroms in the Russian empire, with millions emigrating to the US over the centuries. Eastern Europe to this day is still antisemitic.
