Message:: [QUOTE="The Social Pro, post: 1427911, member: 33417"]Nah, I had a quick talk with the Mod, great guy btw, and it was determined that he has to error on the side of caution which is totally understandable. I happen to know though that he has to do that because some people are overly sensitive and need to feel good about themselves to complain over things they know nothing about/are ignorant/just need a hug? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> He did want to compare it to the "N" word, but I had to further explain that what makes the "N" word a HORRIBLE word to use is its HISTORY. Similarly, the "J" word is the same because of its HISTORY. We Jewish peoples do not like the "J" word, yet I guarantee you EVERYONE here uses it out of total ignorance. So for your and hopefully others education, the "H" word, once again is an endearing term that Hebrews use for many reasons, including to counter the negative "J" word. But like any shortened word for cultural peoples, it all depends on the attitude one uses it with. As far as the political aspect... Nobody wants to endear themselves to a Hebrew, and here is just another example, because I can guarantee you that whomever complained, uses the "J" with reckless abandon and wants nothing to do with changing their attitude because they probably LOVE using the hateful, sadly accepted, slang "J" word.[/QUOTE]
