who used to run for office -- even for governor -- in my state. He swore he wasn't a racist, but his speeches were filled with phrases like "N_____ and J___s." To this day, I do not feel comfortable using the work "J__," because of that bigot. I know it is acceptable, but it just seems derisive to me because of the hatred I heard from him and others. I always say something like "Jewish people," even when it is somewhat awkward.
