Kushi and Sect H – pc?
Question
Hello Rabbi,
What is the difference between the word "kushi" and words like Germanic, Semitic, Slavic, Berber, Chukchi, etc.? Why is the word "kushi" considered an insult (I wouldn’t be offended if they called me "Semitic" or "little Jew")?
I would like to point out that until a few years ago this word was considered a term of endearment, similar to "ginger"…
Should I be careful not to use this word out of concern that someone might be offended?
Best regards, Benjamin

It would be best to move this to the relevant thread. If you think there is actually a question here (since it’s clear even to you that there isn’t. I answered this there).
It’s clear to me that there is a question here; I moved it to the other thread. You can delete this, sorry for the trouble.
