> The latter is, as I said, a well-known slur that any Jew would find offensive.

You'd be incorrect, as I happen to know a Jew who some might consider "based" and knowingly says things like "...so I Jewed it..." and so on. Like, he literally just comes out and says these things in casual conversation and humour.



Not sure what you're meaning here. Slurs aren't slurs without the context of hatred or disdain, and an obvious example of self deprecating humor doesn't mean that your friend would enjoy a stranger directing that word towards him.

Pretty much no one would claim the n-word is not a slur just because some black people use it amongst each other.


As we know, music created by artists who identify as "black" has never had racial slurs against that same group included.

"Finding something offensive" is not mutually exclusive with "doing that thing yourself".
