Viper, is the term "yid" racist?

Glad we cleared that up !

It is not usually considered offensive when pronounced /ˈjiːd/ (rhyming with deed).

But it's about context.

I said that too 14 pages back.

In the early pages of this thread, why did Viper keep saying he wasn’t permitted to discuss anti-Semitism in the Labour Party? It seemed clear the mods had no issue with him answering. Was he banned previously for similar comments?

He was allowed to discuss it. He wasn't allowed to constantly badger other members about it on every thread that they posted.

Ah ok. Thank you. Did we ever find out if he thought Yid was racist?

Yea, Sunny who is Jewish says it isn't racist.

Sunny is Greek
