The casual derogatory nature in which this term is used also bothers me, personally.

In this game? Why the hell do I see the word jew used as a prejoritive here more than anywhere else, without anyone speaking up in channels when it happens?
I used to see Goons as loveable scamps but the term they came up with for their cabal and used repeatedly in the self congratulation thread was just sickening. And it just gets snipped? Is it really not a big deal with anyone?

sticks and stones. htfu.


... kids these days ...

you want em to htfu?

lol

imagine the PR disaster it would be (in the stupid US anyways) if the frequency of use of those words getting thrown around here were leaked lol

There are companies and organizations that take ppl and sue them for **** like that on their own. Like the NAACP and ACLU (mind you they dont care if the company ISNT in the US theyll do it anyways)

The only religious group I see roaming in space right now are a bunch of Catholics (looks at the Amarr).

Not Catholics. Probably Russian Orthodox.

Reasons being the white American and Europeans are mostly Protestant and tend to reject rigid religious hierarchies that zealously control the interpretation of their religions works. (The rigid hierarchy and control is in place to avoid the problem of random crazies pushing random crazy interpretations.) The current Catholic Church has embraced multi-culturalism and multi-ethnicism which doesn't fit well into the pasty white Amarr genotype and attitudes towards racial purity.

The Russians on the other hand, I feel that I can completely stereotype and/or jump to conclusions as being a bit xenophobic towards non-Russians. Plus, Siberia is full of vast untapped natural resources, and Russian history tends to favor authoritarian rule. I would speculate that in the future, the US and China turn the world into a mess with their competition and Russia emerges as the dominant culture war winner/survivor. So, xenophobia, the orthodoxy of the Russian Orthodox church, Siberian resources, authoritarian rule, and a high value on tech, national pride/status and space achievements would make the Russians the natural progenitors of the Amarr dynasty.

He's anti-semitic because he released Israeli state secrets about their nuclear weapons program? That's a bit of a stretch.

Didn't you know? if a bunch of non-jews decide the term isn't offensive, then you obviously can't be offended by it. Bashing minorities isn't offensive if they don't "really" mean it.

Personally, I think it's a growing internet trend because people are tired of being reminded all the time by Jewish people how bad the ****'s were. We all know they were bad and we know they did bad things to you.. we don't need fancy coined up terms like
"Anti Semitism" to remind us why ****** was bad.

In fact the actual phrase "Anti Semitism" is a ridiculous term in the first place, because why do Jewish people seem to think they need their own special phrase or word for racism? Yes we understand the evil ****'s did bad things to you.. but guess what, they did bad things to other people too. .

It predates the crazy genocidal man with the funny mustache who tried to take over Europe.

I see players with 'Jesus' as their first name. This does not offend me at all.
It is a very common name in use for males in Portugal.

I see players with 'Koran' and 'Mohammed' in their names. Why should this offend anyone ?

I see the word 'Jew' used as a noun, adjective, invective verb and other flavours in the English language. If you take umbridge or feel insulted about this, then I urge you to reconsider what you are actually upset about. It's a word - you as an individual put whatever meaning you wish behind it. If it offends you, you have lost at the game of life, nevermind Eve.

It is no wonder that intelligent Aliens from other worlds (not bent on destroying us), give this planet a wide berth in their travels.

We have not matured as human beings. Hatred, religion, superstitions, wars, greed. The list goes on.

Eve is a mirror, how can anyone realistically expect it to be anything else ?

Political correctness is the bane of humanity. Get over word-use, get over being so sensitive. Grow.

I call a spade a spade and a Jew is a Jew, nothing more and nothing less. My Rabbi friend would be insulted if I did not tell him daily that he was a Jew. Be proud of being a jew and when you see the word being thrown about so freely and carelessly, laugh, because you know from whence you came.

That, or don't post in GD expecting mercy.

Stalin?
