dd,
This is an issue that’s come up before and bothers me as well. I noted in another thread that all people are created b’tzelem Elokim, and we as Jews are not reflecting our greatness by referring to people as savages or using racial epiphets (in yiddish or english). However, given the skeptical/ negative reaction I received there and in other posts, I’ve mostly given up on this.
I’ve decided to take my own quote above to heart.
