Its terminology. We don't stop using historic terms just because they are not 100% accurate anymore.

Golf clubs are still called *irons* even they are made of something else, right?

Will you stop calling this country *America* and her citizens *Americans* just because other people in the North and South America don't like us doing it - they are technically Americans as well.

If you want to use the term Jew-hate, you are welcome to do it, and I use it often, btw, but don't expect people to drop using the word Antisemite, just because Antisemites like to confuse people with demagoguery.

No, I will continue to use “America”. It’s more descriptive and commonly accepted than “United State”. Language changes and new terms are invented. I just have a thing about “anti-Semitism”.
