[Jacob-list] Sensitivity

[Mary McCracken]

I was raised with 'Jewing down' as an expression and then caught myself just starting to use it inappropriately....realized then that is was an expression that needed to be deleted.  It's rough homogenizing our language even though it needs to be done.  Like being an Indian Giver....where did THAT come from??  Also a part of my childhood.  mm

        I was catching up on today's postings and felt I had to say something about this since no one else had. I am offended by the ethnic slur "Jewing me down" (and I'm not Jewish.) In these times it is so important to respect other people even when they are different from us, whether those differences involve willingness to eat our 4-legged friends, or religion, culture, or other things....Louise(don't blame Neal for this one)Grose
