It all depends on the context it was used in. Did you miss the 'verb offensive bargain with someone in a miserly or petty way' part?
Nothing was said, for 5 mins prior to. The question is the context....
Calling a man a man is offensive if he/she is a crossdresser yet the word man is not a bannable offence.
Asking "are you a Jew" rings not under verb but noun and so the Jim mod was incorrect in citing it as a derogatory slang word, I can think of slang words derogatory to Jews(plural) but "Jew" itself is not.
Still 1yr ban what for, I just don't understand their motive, any Jew should be proud to be a Jew scout if you ask a Jew if he is a Jew if he is a Jew it's not taken as derogatory obviously.
Simply assuming "Jew" is derogatory slang is actually racist/anti-Semitic ....
