JEW/JEWISH |
“Jew” as an adjective (“Jew lawyer”) is an ethnic insult; the word is
“Jewish.” But people who object to “Jew” as a noun are being
oversensitive. Most Jews are proud to be called Jews. The expression “to
Jew someone down"—an expression meaning “to bargain for a lower
price”—reflects a grossly insulting stereotype and should be avoided in
all contexts.
