TELL GOOGLE TO REMOVE IT'S ANTISEMITIC "DEFINITION" OF THE WORD 'JEW'

The Issue

The word "Jew" is listed on Google as a verb marked offensive, defined as "to bargain with someone in a miserly or petty way."

If you search the word "Jew" on Google right now, you might be surprised to find that the definition given is an ancient antisemitic stereotype.

The word "Jew," according to this Google result with data derived from Oxford Languages, does not list someone as being a member of the Jewish people. Rather, it is listed as a verb marked offensive, defined as "to bargain with someone in a miserly or petty way."

Looking further after clicking "translations and more definitions," the Google result includes several conjugations of this verb, such as "jewed" and "jewing." It further reveals that the origin of the verb "Jew" is from the 19th century in reference to how Jewish people work with moneylending and trading.

Only after that, however, is the noun "Jew" shown as an option by Google, which is far less offensive and far more accurate. 

Let us tell Google this is not ok and we don't stand with it.
