People seriously use the word 'Jewed' and think its ok?

[preCRT]

Both terms are offensive.

Have never heard the word jewed used before. I hear and use gypped fairly often, don't really think about gypsies when it is said.

just because YOU don't think of gypsies, doesn't mean a gypsies' feelings don't get hurt when they hear it. It may well affect them long enough where they can't concentrate enough on their next scam. try to be more sensitive to those around you

for instance, when I say I jerry-rigged something, my friend Jerry gets all huffy puffy. I never realized his feelings were hurt when I say that, so know I watch what I say around him.

Lend me your tears gypsy.

If jewed is not acceptable then redneck isn't either. No double standards. No double standards.

Just face it people, the stereotypes are there for a reason. They are TRUE!

This made me lawl.

The only thing offensive to me is the lack of offense people are taking. I say we have a memorial for the j-word and end its use once and for all.

Who gives a shit if it's offensive. People need to lighten the hell up. I'm white and when I hear a white slur... I couldn't possibly care less. Oh, and I got jewed out of monitor on craigslist today. Oh well.

Being white means your position within western nations is so secure that you would almost never have to worry about serious racism. Minorities don't have your luxury. Racial slurs deepen stereotypes and give people the idea that discrimination is acceptable. Let the attitude run unchecked and things can get very hard for them; it wouldn't stop at just words.

Keep playing the victim and you will always be the victim.

Maybe we should give you reparations too? Would that make you feel better?

racism is racism, mean words are mean words. The color of my skin does not make it ok. You are a racist dighn. Just because we aren't as thin skinned as many other people, doesn't mean the double standard is ok.

Thats what he wants spidey, to be a victim. Sympathy is very underrated.

I come from a place where there is a very small jewish population and people there used the term "jewed" all the time. Then I came here, where there are quite a few more jews, and I tend to be a little more careful when and where I use it. I'm dating a jewish girl right now and I use it all the time around her...she doesn't care.

Also, does anyone use the word "nig-rig?"

 

[Maleficus]

I use it all the time, I dont consider it offensive.

 

[PepePeru]

hey jewed
dont make it bad
take a sad song
and make it better.

fuck i want reparations too! my ancestors were slaves also!

F-PC. Jewed, jewed, jewed. Screw anyone who doesn't like it.

 

[rh71]

majority jewish area where I grew up... definitely a no-no to be using that, especially so casually as some people here believe.

This isn't just being PC... like calling someone an african american when they're black. It's purposely describing something based on "race" / type of people alone - and if you didn't think it, you wouldn't use it. Can you seriously not see the difference?

It it's more entertaining to glue a quarter to the sidewalk.

Considering how much America gives to Israel each year for defense, I think letting us use "jewed" is the least they can do.

Do people really think its not offensive?

People seemed to finally stop saying 'Gyped' (sp?) as it was deemed offensive.. I heard it much more as a kid, but its no longer PC. Have they not gotten the memo about 'Jewed'?

Who really gives a crap about what's considered "PC" or not?

 

[Capt Caveman]

If you can't say it to the face of some one of that race or faith then it's not cool.

 

[91TTZ]

If someone converts to Judaism, can it be said that they Jewed themself?

 

[marvdmartian]

No different than folks of color using the "dreaded N word" on each other, imho. Or the use of other derogatory terms.

I find it both humorous and disgusting that we've all become so unnaturally PC. Let's face it, it's the nature of man to find something to dislike about people that aren't similar to them, and then use it to make themself feel superior to the other person. It's why there's racism, religious zealots and wars. Normally in the past the pressure of living in correct society kept it in check most of the time, but rather lately it's become quite ridiculous, with everyone expected to bend over backwards to keep from insulting anyone in any way.

Screw 'em. I say call a spade a spade, and be done with it! :roll:

Attention bigots, it's not ok to use jewed. It's a derogatory term and you should be called on it by any right thinking person. If you can't see that it's wrong you've been living in a cave.
Would it be ok if I called most of you ignorant Christian nazis? Or a black person a *****?
A chinese person a beloved patriot?
This is not political correctness, this is derogatory and insulting.
If you are white, can you call a black person a ***** to their face? I didn't think so.
Maybe some jew needs to get in your face and threaten your well being for you to get the point.

Stop crying. You aren't going to accomplish anything here by acting like a whiny little bitch.

 

[KingGheedora]

I don't use stereotypes or racial slurs in my speech. When I hear it from others it's usually a joke and doesn't bother me, but on a few occasions I have heard questionable and offensive things.

[Deleted member 4644]

A lot of the people I know who use the term are Jews. Go figure.

Female dogs all over the world are offended. I find you use of whiny offensive to whiney people.

 

[bcterps]

I've only recently (last 2 years) started to hear people use the term "jewed", usually said by kids in high school/college. Never heard the term used before then.
