Didn't you know? if a bunch of non-jews decide the term isn't offensive, then you obviously can't be offended by it. Bashing minorities isn't offensive if they don't "really" mean it. Roll

That is BS. Vanunu is a hero of humanity trying to stop the proliferation of world-destroying nuclear weapons. You should be ashamed, trolling aside.

Personally, I think it's a growing internet trend because people are tired of being reminded all the time by Jewish people how bad the Nazi's were. We all know they were bad and we know they did bad things to you.. we don't need fancy coined up terms like
"Anti Semitism" to remind us why Hitler was bad.

In fact the actual phrase "Anti Semitism" is a ridiculous term in the first place, because why do Jewish people seem to think they need their own special phrase or word for racism? Yes we understand the evil Nazi's did bad things to you.. but guess what, they did bad things to other people too.

There are bad things happening at this very moment all around the world and bad things have happened throughout history to various groups of people all over, yet there are only a few groups that seem to make it their goal to constantly remind everyone of these bad things trying to make it seem like everyone owes them a favor.

Semantic change, also known as semantic shift or semantic progression describes the evolution of word usage.

******.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faggot_(food)

Gay.

http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay

Lesbian.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesbian_(disambiguation)

Just a few examples of semantic change and disambiguated terminology that has evolved within the new cultures of online entertainment media.

Of course, some people don't like change and seek to apply their own arbitrary and subjective definitions to words and phrases and use their position of authority to ensure said definitions are canon.

The term was coined in the late 19th century in Germany as a more scientific-sounding term for Judenhass ("Jew-hatred"). It predates the crazy genocidal man with the funny mustache who tried to take over Europe.

The prevalence of casual racism is largely and internet cultural thing. Largely to do with the fact that it's easy to troll with it.

You may not even be a racist person in the sense that you are a racial supremacist. It's just something that gets people's goat and goads them into foaming at the mouth and shedding tears in mass quantities.

It's also a social litmus test to see how uptight people are.

It's backlash to political correctness. Those that hammer on racial equality are also the least likely to let it die.

Morgan Freeman did an interview with, I think it was Morley Schaeffer from 60 Minutes. His solution to racism. "Stop talking about it. I'll stop looking at you as a white man if you stop looking at me as a black man.". It really is that simple.

no. that's just one of the many things which causees the wide spread anti-semitism in this world.

Israel having nukes causes anti-semitism? Israel going after one of their citizens for treason causes anti-semitism? Seriously, I'm not grokking your point. Would the US going after Assange for leaking US diplomatic cables be called anti-caucasianism?

Anti-semitism is hating someone because they're Jewish, i.e. you're pre-judging pre-condemning them. Hating Israel because of its actions is the same as hating a Christian/Jew/Atheist/Pagan person because you think they act like a jerk. Meaning, hating Israel because it's a predominately Jewish state is anti-semitic and not okay. Hating Israel for its actions is okay.

It is a very common name in use for males in Portugal.

I see players with 'Koran' and 'Mohammed' in their names. Why should this offend anyone ?

I see the word 'Jew' used as a noun, adjective, invective verb and other flavours in the English language. If you take umbridge or feel insulted about this, then I urge you to reconsider what you are actually upset about. It's a word - you as an individual put whatever meaning you wish behind it. If it offends you, you have lost at the game of life, nevermind Eve.

It is no wonder that intelligent Aliens from other worlds (not bent on destroying us), give this planet a wide berth in their travels.

We have not matured as human beings. Hatred, religion, superstitions, wars, greed. The list goes on.

Eve is a mirror, how can anyone realistically expect it to be anything else ?

Political correctness is the bane of humanity. Get over word-use, get over being so sensitive. Grow.

I call a spade a spade and a Jew is a Jew, nothing more and nothing less. My Rabbi friend would be insulted if I did not tell him daily that he was a Jew. Be proud of being a jew and when you see the word being thrown about so freely and carelessly, laugh, because you know from whence you came.

That, or don't post in GD expecting mercy.




I bet you think this is an enlightened position. You are so honest with your blunt language and all. Your rabbi friend, if you have one, would probably be just fine if you did not mention anything about him at all, let alone every day.

I was going to post a serious comment here, one about outrage, morals and decency and how all of you should be ashamed for making fun of other people's misery.

Then I read that joke about the Jew, the Irish and the Belgian all sitting in a pub and I'm still trying my best to keep myself from laughing. It still eludes me, though, as to why being Jewish is such a miserable thing that it can't be made fun of, but I'm sure the OP will soon enlighten us.

Here comes the punchline!

The OP thinks "Jew" is an offensive word? That's racist.
