“Remember, Paul also says “to the Gentile” in pretty much the same breath”
Uh, No. Gentile, Christian...these terms do not currently describe an ethno-religious nation or diaspora.
Mind you, if you ever read a bunch of Judaic scholars debating how to deal with “The Goy”, it would be equally as concerning...and still, it doesn’t call to mind pseudo anthropological studies meant to dehumanize one group during the mid-Century.
I’d suggest just letting it go. Failing to recognize an abbreviated Biblical cite in a headline and perceiving the intended meaning in a more modern context isn’t the worst mistake one could make.
So what? Should the word "Jew" never be used in your opinion...is it derogatory in your view at all times or acceptable only when used as a subject of a sentence rather than object?
What word in your opinion would be more acceptable as "object"?
