Poor mods.

Edit: SciFive noticed. Add 23 hours.

Fingers crossed for a good meltdown before this thread is locked and shipped to the Soapbox.

It’s offensive anyway.

Thanks!

Ever run across Jewish people using it that way? I have and I got to admit I was weirded out. I guess it's not that different from other racial/cultural demographics using slurs with the same demo. I guess I'm just used to more common usage of slurs inside in groups than that one. It's more represented in culture. 

Cute!!

I've ran into it a few times in my life and like I said I was weirded out by it. Everytime was in a negotiating situation or consumer situation. And it was always in the generation before/older than me.

First time it really surprised me. One of my old D&D players in college was Jewish and his Dad was the one who it was used against. Us three were in a Jewish Owned mom and pop electronics store and his Dad was dickering over the price of surround sound system (this was back in the 90's). After about 10 minutes the owner said "I'm not going to let you Jew me Down." There were people in the store other than us and I literally did a double take.

Afterwards, I talked my friend and was like does your Dad know that guy? Is that some kind of inside joke or something? He said no. I dropped it because I had no idea if that was a sensitive subject or what. I've run into it a handful of other times too with other Jewish friends, but I don't broach the subject with them because I have no idea what's normal/sensitive. 


Edit: It was used against my friends Dad not my friends Dad using it. Also should say the Dad didn't look mad about it, and he did end up buying the Surround System.
