Yid as it used here, is an insult.

Is there a list of terms that are not considered an insult, in the U.S.A.?

[Farmer Dean]

Not much of an insult when spewed from the mouths of trashy English soccer fans. Those idiots are barely self-aware.

except for Yid with Lid

However "Yid" is the Yiddish word for "Jew" correct? With "Yidd'n"/"Yiddin" as the plural?

It seems to me that someone who does not speak Yiddish and yet goes out of their way to use the word is probably using it derogatorily.

I think the fans of Tottenham Hotspur and also of Ajax use it as a badge of pride regardless of their personal background, to the point where their fans will fight neo-Nazis in the streets for disrespecting them, or Jews, or Jewish symbols.

If you take an insult and turn it into a term of pride, you disarm your opponents.

I am of Irish descent. I’ve heard that the term “Mick” is supposed to be offensive to the Irish. Call me a Mick, and I won’t bat an eye. You can call me “cracker,” or “Honkey,” and I don’t care. Words are just words, no matter what the intent of the speaker.

If everybody took the same attitude, the world would a lot less PC, and a whole lot better!

Who gets insulted, the kikes?
