I guess I don't see where "Jew" is always used in a negetive way. How is that any differant from refering to the "Celts" or the "Brits" or... It is (or ought to be) just a shorthand way of saying jewish people.
I dont think there is inherently a negetive connotation on the word, until the person puts one there.
I'm sure I've read history text books that contained the word "Jew" are we suing them?
Well, it is america... we probably are.
Lastly, I think for the most part it can be agreed that the waitperson was in the wrong, and having that message show up on your credit card statement... Well, Yea, I'd say the waitperson added that negetive connotation. My point being, the fault is not in the word, its in the person.
