This issue is important and needs to discussed sensitively with due ( no pun intended) regard to everyone’s point of view .
I’ve only just seen this clip ( see below) where David Baddiel ( who’s far from stupid ) states that he refers to himself as “ a Jew “ because he sees it as a “ reclamation “ : given that , according to him , in a “ Anglo-Christian culture it has a burial as a bad word “ (sic) .
Now I’ve never considered the word as a bad word ; but if Baddiel thinks so and feels he’s somehow
detoxifying it by reclaiming it and by using it to describe himself on Twitter . Then why shouldn’t he support anybody or any group of people who are doing the same thing ? ( ie in turning a “ bad “ word into a “ good “ word .
Watch the first two minutes.
