Using a word that describes a group of people in a derogatory way, even if it is not used to describe someone who actually belongs to that group, creates a negative association with that word and other things that are associated with that word. It also influences young people to have a negative association with anyone who is connected to it. Regardless of if you're using it in "that way" or not. It encourages lack of tolerance as the mental connection between the word being used to describe negative things, and the group of people that the word represents, is not lost on kids growing up.
It's not a coincidence that it's that word, which describes a persecuted minority group, is also used as a negative derogatory word. Just as the word "Jew" was used as an insult in nazi times, was not a coincidence that that word was used for negative purposes. Today, it's not as socially acceptable to use the word "jew" as an insult, for example: "don't be such a f*ing jew"... it's not as "in vogue", and it generally frowned upon to use words that describe other races or nationalities as insults. Try telling a black person the same thing that you told me, just replace the word "gay" with "nigger". In the future at some point, using the word "gay" as an insult or complaint will be seen as using the word "jew" or "nigger" is seen today; outdated, inappropriate, anti-progressive, and backwards. | |
I'm feeling cuddly right now.. |

I grew up in the 90's dude, those words we're prominent in people's vocabulary, as we're nigger and jew back in the 40's 50's and 60's. Get over it.
Why are we having a serious discussion in a thread called "TROLL" anyways? Can't you just try trolling for once? |

What a stupid thing to write. Jew is the official term for the people of the Ancient Near East. The fact that some use it to infer to the stereotype that Jewish people are cheap doesn't change the fact that JEW is the actual word for the ethnicity. Read up a bit: [ en.wikipedia.org ] Imagine being a gay black Jew... is that even possible?
Well if your mother was Jewish and your father a black man and you ended up gay, sure. You'd only be part black, though. Update » DCRn wrote on Tue Mar 15, 2011 @ 3:28pm My point is that it's complately different as using "fag" or "nigger" whose words are meant to insult using the words themselves, unlike Jew.
A better example you could have used is Kike. Now THAT is an insulting word. | |
I'm feeling cromulent right now.. |

I think they were this ancient tribe from the Horn of Africa somewhere... maybe Ethiopia. Lost Jewish tribe 'found in Zimbabwe' here's an excerpt from the BBC article: The Lemba people of Zimbabwe and South Africa may look like their compatriots, but they follow a very different set of customs and traditions. They do not eat pork, they practise male circumcision, they ritually slaughter their animals, some of their men wear skull caps and they put the Star of David on their gravestones. Their oral traditions claim that their ancestors were Jews who fled the Holy Land about 2,500 years ago. It may sound like another myth of a lost tribe of Israel, but British scientists have carried out DNA tests which have confirmed their Semitic origin. |

no no no, the lost tribe of Israel went to North America and became the native americans. It's all there in historical facts in the Book of Mormon :) | |

Rather than get pissed off at someone calling someone else a fag or whatever else, laugh at them and humiliate them publicly for being such an ignorant douchebag that they have to resort to insults and homophobic/racist slurs to get a point across. | |
