I call my friend J "Jude", Jew Boy", and other various disrespectful, but affectionate terms. He likes it, knowing that I am benign and part Jew myself (however raised Catholic!) On the other hand I was talking to my friend Rochelle (another Jew, we're all over!) and mentioned Jew Boy and she was offended. She understood there was no poor intention nor ill will because she knows me, but was concerned that others would hear and get their own funky ideas.
I like willravel's suggestions about contacting the other Jew dude, Bensch the mensch.
