Yes I'm saying they are wrong, not saying anything as crude as fuck them, more like defend the contextual use of the word, after all the people who are offended on sight by Yid, knows that Y- word means the same thing.
So if people start chanting Y-word or Y-wordoooooo, is that going to be much less offensive?
Yes you can, if you put forward a sound argument, just because someone is offended by something it doesn't mean they are right.
Some of Tarantino's films would look so stupid if the actors said N-word instead of nigger in his films. He has upset Spike Lee and some in the black community but he kept using in is films and has been backed by other black actors.
Spike Lee and the others who are offended and Tarantino himself are real though.
There is a balance, not directly equating the things but to illustrate the point.
Some people are deeply offended by swearing, some people are triggered by loud noises - there is a line drawn on offence and expression all the time.
But Jewish people being offended at the use of the word "Yid" is completely different. And why it's down to non-Jews to determine what is or isn't offensive is ridiculous.
Yes it is completely different but we very often don't follow:
"You can't tell people they are wrong for how they feel because you don't share that feeling.
You need to ask those that are offended by it, not those that aren't"
We make decisions on expression vs offence all the time, I think we are on the right side on this one.

Case reviewed the facts of the case and came to the conclusion that the public service I provide the forum by taking the puppy down shouldn't be punished.
''Now you do not punish anyone, Dutch or otherwise, for having big boobs. If anything they should be rewarded''.
Knew he wouldn't be far behind wherever I posted.
Grammar nazis all over demand to know how wank stain constitutes 1 word.
....Piss stain, shit stain and all manner of other stains say otherwise.
