Is ''a Jew'' the correct term or is it ''a Jewish person''?
The majority of Jews would look at you strangely if you were to called someone a "Jewish person" as that's not a term used by Jews. The acceptable uses are: He is a Jew. (noun) He is Jewish. (adjective) Although some people use the word 'Jew' as a slur, that is a misuse of the word, no different than any descriptive word can be misused. Almost any nationality and/or ethnicity can be said as a slur by those who are bigoted. A lot depends on the context. For instance, it's probably more polite to ask someone: 'Are you Jewish?' as opposed to 'Are you a Jew?' But it would be fine to say, for instance: Woody Allen is a Jew. Natalie Portman is a Jew. So you can use either. Jews tend to know when someone is using the word 'Jew' negatively, so you don't need to worry about causing offense, if you're just asking a genuine question or making a perfectly innocent remark :)
