"Jewish" Terms

Judaic Terms         What comes to mind when someone we see intakes the scathe Kyke, J.A.P., or Heime? What about when the use the phrase Thats Jewish ? I can tell you from experience I never intellection to severalise Hey, dont use those terms! Well, non until a some months ago. Where I grew up, batch would say those all the time, like it was mho nature. I never thought that it would be the same as someone calling me a nigger, or any former(a)(a) African-American ethnic slur someone could toss at me. Then again, many an(prenominal) of us (not all), dont think that direction. Our society is well(p) strange like that, but why? Honestly, I wouldnt know where to set forth, but as a minority in America, date Jewish psyche, I could only tell you what she and I see.

        Lets arrive with two derogatory terms that are often tell or employ to descibe Jewish concourse and their meanings. First off, lets start with the word Kyke. A Kyke is a person of Jewish ancestory, or of Jewish faith. I wear never let ond anyone use this term anywhere, except on T.V. Id like to think the people I hang out with are smarter and better than that. The people who use this on T.V. are 95% of the time Nazis and other kinds of white supremacist. Second, we come to the phrase Thats Jewish or Youre a Jew. I have heard these terms used on numerous occasions and as much as I hate to admit it, Ive used them more than once. To my knowledge, when someone says Thats Jewish, it means that the object, or situation is stupid or cheap. In other words, Ive never heard it used in a good or uplifting right smart. When someone says Youre a Jew, it ordinarily means youre an idiot, unless you really are a Jewish person. I dont know how or why these two sayings became ways of pain in the ass someone whole stepings, but ever since I realized that I was offending someone by saying them, I stopped. I started using these when I was in 8th grade, my friends used to relieve oneself a another friend of mine creapo because he was Jewish. We werent doing as a way of puttin him down, we were doing it cause it sounded funnny to us and it was fun to jamming with him about something. By the time I was in tenth garde, I looked back on my 8th grade grade and realized that we shouldnt have said those things, joking or not joking. Its still offensive.

        A few other terms I research on the net were J.A.P., Heime, and Wandering Jew. J.A.P. stands for Jewish American Princess. I couldnt really find much background on this term, but it also sounds and is spelled like Jap, a word used to offend people Japanese background. Heime (pronounced Hi-me), is a person of Jewish descent. So, basically its kind of like call a Chinese person a Chink, or a Mexican a Wetback. The last term I found and Im still assay to figure out how one would use this is, Wandering Jew. If I was Jewish Id probably laugh at this the same way when someone calls me Colored or Darkie. It merely sounds childish, if you ask me. The rendering of this term is, a lost or aimless person if Jewish faith or a confused Jew.

        The tenability why I chose to do these terms not because my missy is Jewish, but because nobody really talks about the Jews unitl we hear of the Holocaust. I figured this would be a good way of informing people of other words they shouldnt say. So many people seem to have such animosity toward them and close up that theyre people too. This isnt even a skin color electric receptacle like it is for me, but fair(a) a religious thing. wherefore? There are white people in this orb who will give a Jewish person a job, until they find out that theyre Jewish. Id get shut down just because the way I look. Im somewhat prepared for that, but closely Jews are white too. They lose jobs over faith? Isnt that just alittle strange? I think so.

        What Ive learned from my research is that there are even more things out there that you shouldnt say to certain people. Its really hard to bite your tounge when youre angry, but if you have knowledge of these terms(not just the Jewish ones) and focus on keeping deragetory terms out of our everday vocabulary, we wont hurt anybody. Well, not verbally. Sometimes we feel the make to lash out, its human nature, but we still need to watch what we say and do. One thing I evermore remember is, the hate you out out will constantly comeback to you.
