'Jew' or 'Jewish'?
This may seem like a ridiculous question, so forgive me.
If it is used without malice, is it still considered disrespectful to refer to someone as a 'Jew '?

Unfortunately, I have heard people use the word "Jew" in a derogative manner.
As in, "You're such a Jew," or "That's so Jewish." The fad never caught on in my school, thankfully, but I have heard the popularity of it in others'.

No, I would never use it like that.
