  Are you saying this as a Jew or as a vampire? Or as a Jewish vampire? m.youtube.com/watch?v=HAom8ws8qp4

    Judaism and vampirism have a lot in common.

    1. Existed since the dawn of time
    2. Universally shunned
    3. Forced to uphold their traditions in secret

    When you factor in the blood libel, the connection goes even deeper.

  Really stupid question, but is the term “Jew(s)” derogatory in any way when referring to Jewish people(s), or should one say “Jewish person/people”?

    Jew is the correct word to refer to a member of the Jewish faith. I don’t think anyone would suggest that it was derogatory unless they themselves were hateful toward Jews. It’s kind of like how people who hate Americans use the term “Americans” hatefully.

        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.

      That is technically true, though the dynamic of pointing at and labelling a minority who have historically been subject to persecution is its own message on top of that. As usual, context is everything, and this meme depends on the reader being aware of the history of Jews being singled out for persecution for its transgressive frisson.

    If you don’t mind, we are preferred to be called “The Chosen People”.

  Where do mods draw the line, tho?

    Somewhere beyond “offensive”.

      That’s subjective and I’m asking where do mods draw that subjective line
