First they'll come for the Yids, then for the Fighting Whiteys...

Reminded of a high school intramural basketball team.

Well, if they wanted continued use of the term that’s a pretty good way to get it.

I attended a Jewish festival in Little Rock a few years back, and a booth named “Lids For Yids” was selling yarmulkes!

Idiots.
Fans were thick-skinned enough to turn the name-calling against outsiders.
Just as most of our team names were, more or less.
As was “Yankee”. American rebels took the Yankee Doodle ditty and turned it on its head, mocking the redcoats by using it.
When is this cowardly over-sensitive garbage going to stop?

It seems to be something like, “We tried to call them names and they adopted it for their own use! We must ban the name we called them. If anyone disagrees they’re racist”.
Same old thing from leftists.

The leftists want to put a muzzle on the deplorables while they have freedom of speech.
It is getting kinda obvious.

In Yiddish, Yid is pronounced yeed. Antisemities turned it into yid.

Isn’t this basically the same as black people refering to themselves as n-words as a way of ‘taking it back’? It still sounds vulgar and crass.
Racial slurs should not be seen as socially acceptable, even if they are used by people of the same race they refer to. They should be taken out of circulation.
To: cowboyusa
It existed as a legitimate name of an identity, long before anti-Semites got a hold of it.

That’s like asking Rangers fans to stop singing “Billy Boys”:
Hullo, Hullo
We are the Billy Boys
Hullo, Hullo
You’ll know us by our noise
We’re up to our knees in Fenian blood
Surrender or you’ll die
For we are
The Brigton Derry Boys

I’ve followed the Premier League for years and I’ve never heard Tottenham fans call themselves ‘Yids.’
