It depends on how you say it. If you're saying "Emily is a Jew" (and it's true) then no it's not bad or anything, it's true. If you are saying it like it's an insult or something bad, then it's rude to say "Emily a Jew" with malice.

Yes it is....Do we call Baptists...Bats? or Roman Catholics.... Romas or even Methodism ... Meth? No ....Shakespeare wrote the role of Shylock the Jew to be disrespetcful towards Jewish people who the church of England wanted to remove from England.

∙ 13y agoNo. The term "Jews" and "Jewish people" are interachangeable. The latter is simply less formal.

No, however, this is because the Jewish community has reclaimed the word. 100 years ago, most Christians in the English speaking word who called someone a Jew were using the word as an insult, and to be polite, they used awkward phrases like "Jewish person" or "person of the Mosaic persuasion" (the religion of Moses) or "person of the Hebrew race." This was genuinely ugly, but as most of the English speaking world began to speak more respectibly, the word Jew has been largely reclaimed, and nowdays, when a Jew hears somebody using one of those awkward constructions, the usual reaction is to guess that they are a closet antisemite trying to hide the fact.

What are some ways Americans are prejudices towards Jews?
Well, I don't even think it's nice to make fun of Jews at all! But some ways that Americans are rude to Jews are drawing the Nazis symbol and saying "Jews Suck"(which they DO NOT), saying that their little Jewish hats are ugly(when they're really cool), saying that Jews are not smart at all(which is extremely false) and a bunch of other stereotypes that are extremely rude to Jews! There is nothing wrong with them! They are just like me and you! So, treat everyone(even if they are Jewish)the way you would want to be treated. Just like a regular person!
