Re: "Jewish" surnames? by Jen |
And, as you said, as a language, Jewish is not one; nor is it a nationality. To ask me my nationality--where is my family from--and expect Jewish rather than German as an answer is prejudiced. I don't expect "Christian" if I hear an unusual name and ask a person where he's from.

That is why we no longer refer to one's Christian name. Afraid to offend someone.
