comment Is “Jew” gender-neutral?
Jew is only considered offensive if taken to be offensive. A slang word for African-Americans (Blacks), is nigger. But the way to say Blacks in Spanish is los Negros. I don't see how that is any more offensive than nigger if it is meant to be offensive. Wh should a Jewish person be offended when called a Jew if that is what he is? IMHO, a Jewish person who does not want to be called a Jew is like a tree not wanting to be considered part of a forest. For more on this, see what Mark writes in his answer and comments there.

@simchona - I consider myself to be Jewish, Judaistic and a Jew. Type "define:jewish" into Google and it will say relating to or denoting Jews or Judaism. I think Jewishness, Judaism, and Jews are all one and the same.
