    I’m not, but I have several Jewish friends. I also live close to rural batshit Crazyville. I can hear the difference in “Jew” when it’s said at the Jewish Cultural Center vs. at the townie bar with disdain, for sure. Hard R territory.

      I stand firmly on the side of not stifling hateful use of “Jew” to avoid the risk of stifling regular use of it. They can’t make the correct descriptor of my identity into a derogatory word. I won’t let them.
