@sanctuarie I'll make my reply somewhat more concise. If you really were Jewish, you'd be offended. And no, I don't want to check out your foreskin.

RE: Recommend addition/removal of words
@jsm said in Please remove the word 'jew':
It is a simple noun - a person who is Jewish is a Jew. I don't think it is inherently derogatory although used that way by some.
Lots of words that are used derogatorily are in Lex (SOWPODS). I agree it feels weird to play them, but - it's a word game.Your description makes it a pronoun. Following your logic I should then be able to play Christian, Hindu or Muslim. Note the words all start with a capital letter.

This is a pejorative verb that is offensive to Jewish people and, intentionally or not, infers Jewish people are swindlers.

RE: Recommend addition/removal of words
@sparks No. I am Jewish and I find the verb 'jew' offensive and derogatory. I have no doubt that the person who plays it is has no intention of offending anyone. It is the word, not the player, that is offensive.

@bestofgdo So am I and that word was used many times in a derogatory manner when I was young and I don't need reminding about it.

RE: Recommend addition/removal of words
@betterlate1 I will keep this simple. As a Jew the word is offensive to myself and other Jews. Clear?
