Ah, my bad I really shouldn't barge into conversations when I haven't read them fully. Anyway I, as a Jew, am with jayjg - if someone finds it offensive they're overly sensitive (of course as long as you're not saying "don't jew me out" and the likes).

Steve Bennett specifically said that he finds the word "Jew" to be "awkward" and have "unfortunate connotations". The response was made in that context.
