    well i'm sorry someone would be offended by the term jew town. half of my family is jewish and i take no offense to it. i'm sorry people have nothing better to do than get pissed off about ancient nick names for neighborhoods. this isn't the south, and it's not a diversity issue. it's a pc issue. and don't get me started on that.

  7. No need to Holla, like I said, I wan't pissed. And you are right about it being a PC issue more than diversity. But I think the point is still valid. Just because it was called that once doesn't mean it should still be called something that others may construe as derogetory. Am I off base here?

    They whole thing of the word Jew to describe someone who is Jewish is complicated. Would it be less ofensive to call that hood "Jewish Town"? I dunno.
    it all depends on how the reader interprets it and their own inherent level of prejudice/tolerence.
    I live in a "Mexican" town, which I don't disagree with, actually am proud of ...but if I was a bit more racist that title may be a derogatory thing. AWW Screw it
