Is it improper or racist to call a Jewish person simply a Jew? Or a group Jews?

Categorizing people by their heritage or race is not racist. There is a right way and a wrong way to refer to ones race. Common sense should tell you the difference between a racial slur as opposed to a description.

Name calling is the last resort of people with no argument .\nThere is nothing racist about wanting the enforce the immigration policies of a nation. In fact, using the term “racist,” or calling someone biased in one way or another [toward race] is undoubtedly the stupidest argument you can use, and not to mention a blatant show of your hand, which proves the fact that you have nothing left to argue with, and are using it as a last resort.

YOur right.  What the he**.  I dont get it.  It sounds cool to be a jew.  I know a few and they are no different than I.

It is not politically correct to use the word "colored" or the "n-word" or "gal" but I think "black" is okay for me, sometimes. \n\nFor example at work, this person asked someone "Who is Monique?" And her response was that black lady with the curly hair. She wasn't referring to me, but somehow it pissed me off. Why couldn't she say, "Monique is the lady at the nurse's station with the purple scrubs that has bumble bees on the blouse." \n\nWhen we speak of white people we don't always say Caucasian. But when someone say's "Who's Becky?" we don't say "The white girl with the blue scrubs." If I were white I would think that to be strange. I am sure that this situation would be brought the attention of the nurse manager and we would get in trouble for being "difficult"\n\nI like to use the word black when we are talking to each other you know like when we say "Girl, it's a black thang, they don't understand." I prefer that people of other ethnicities refer to us as African-American.

I agree. Calling people fascists, commies, nazis, etc. is just stupid unless those accuse actually ARE fascists, commies, and/or nazis.

He said those who claim to be Jews. To answer this we have to define what a Jew is. When the scripture was written the word Jew meant Judah. Just Judah a member of the tribe of Judah only and not all the tribes of Israel. So what he is saying is their will be those who claim to be Jews(Judahies thus Israelites) and are not but do lie. So if you are not a seed of Judah and call yourself a Jew then your a liar. This is who it's talking about, it also say HE will make them the synagogues of Satan, b/c of their false claims.

Absolutly not, just like its not right to call someone retarded or racist names. \nIts mean and hurtful to everyone involved.\nThen again you cant cure all of the idiots in the world that will still practice this behavior.

They are downright weird. The number of Jews who would actually agree with the JTF on everything could probably be counted on one hand. The JTF calls some people "race tratiors" they sound more like neo-nazis! If it were not for the fact that I know these guys are Jewish I would suspect it was someone's idea of a joke.

Jews arent a race. There are Jews of every race, and one who converts TO Judaism becomes a Jew, and someone who was born a Jew who converts to another faith is no longer a Jew. A person cannot convert to a race. If an Asian converts to Judaism, he or she becomes BOTH an Asian AND a Jew.

Not racism, a stereotype. Different word. It is a stereotype to call all Americans racist.\nA very incorrect one, too.

THANK YOU!!!!!  I am soooooooo sick of this double standard with the black race-- if you watch the Wire, that's all they call eachother is nigger.  So WHY is it okay for them to use it to eachother but it is a major faux pas if any other race uses the word?  You dont see Jewish people calling eachother kikes, or Polish- polaks, Germans -krauts, Chinese-chinks, Puerto Ricans-spics, etc, etc.  This is a multiracial, multicultural world and if YOUR RACE ENJOYS calling eachother a nigger, and use it so proficiently, then you are opening pandoras box to allow everyone else to use it, whether it is acceptable to you or not- by the way, I dont particularly care to be called a "cracker" but at least I dont go around calling other white people this.

I don't think you should be PRO-JEW, because they are just like every other race. I can accept like me you are pro-people, individuals. No matter what Race they are from. The Israelis and by association the Jews in general want us all to succomb to their apparent hatred for anyone but another Jew. Time to call it as it is. They are acting in a way that is no different to when Hitler tried to wipe them off the face of the Earth. Murdering b*st**ds.

People use the word racism/racist too freely. Classifying people by race itself isn't racist. African-American, in terms of darker skin or "black", is really the most politically correct term you could use. The same goes for those who are termed Caucasian or "white". Generally, some people are never satisified, but that's probably the best it's going to get. You can't expect people who don't know you well to know your ancestry. People who do not know you can only really guess your race by what they see (I don't see why they would even be talking about that in the first place). If they are incorrect, politely correct them. There's no need to get yourself all worked up. If they're using a derogatory term, that's a different conversation all together.

I disagree with your analysis of an ethnic group...the Jewish people were stateless for thousands of years. \n\nGypsies, too, although they don't quite count as an ethnic group. well...they kind of do.

While it may be the politically correcting thing to say in the workplace, simply referring to someone as "African-American" may be an inaccurate description of someone, especially if that person is not American but from another country. Some people do take offense to the term "black". You are in a tough spot; you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. Professional setting do prefer the term "African-American" over black even though it could be wrong. To play it safe, if you need to describe someone you could just say that they have brown skin.

You're an idiot.\nCalling someone a "jew" is in no way a racial slur.  Jedism is a religion, not a race.  You sound like someone who will probably fight the system so hard that you'll end up in prison... where once and for all... the white man will TRUELY hold you down...\nOn the floor of the shower... with 15-20 other men yelling at you, while you're repeatedly introduced to new friends anally.\nand, as you lay there... crying... soar... bleeding... remember that it was ME who predicted it... and I'm here, at home, laughing at you...\nIdiot.

I agree.  I don't like to use the term because I believe that it is incorrect.  It is also promoting segregation and misunderstanding.  When people choose to separate themselves by racial titles they are saying that they are unwilling to be a part of this culture.  This breeds contempt amongst other groups who feel that they are being pushed aside or belittled because they don't have a special title for themselves too.  \n\nI find it amusing that some black people are offended for being called black but then the next words out of their mouths are about white people.  If I'm white you're black.  I really don't see what's wrong with that.\n\nAlso, almost no one in this country is all of any ethnicity.  I don't want to be called French-Canadian-Belgian-Spanish-Lebanese American.  What a freakin' mouthful!  Blacks are no different.  If you go back into your geneaology you will find many different groups represented in there.  Why would you choose to leave those out?  They are as much a part of you as any other group.
