re: #55 Bob Levin

That’s another cultural faux pas right there. I’m not going to tell you the correct answer, or correct way of addressing this minority. Besides, I already told you weeks ago and you didn’t believe me.

But

is just not true.

How can you say “Jew” as in Jew shadow” is not used in the way the term has always been used in an offensive manner?

en.wikipedia.org

“The word Jew has been used often enough in a disparaging manner by antisemites that in the late 19th and early 20th centuries it was frequently avoided altogether, and the term Hebrew was substituted instead (e.g. Young Men’s Hebrew Association). Even today some people are wary of its use, and prefer to use “Jewish”. Indeed, when used as an adjective (e.g. “Jew lawyer”) or verb (e.g. “to jew someone”), the term Jew is purely pejorative.”
