Why do Jewish men love shiksas?
Does it also work in reverse? Do Jewish women love male shiksas (shegetz).
I would say that the term is racist, the root is in a hebrew term for abomination or loathing.
Wikipedia:
'The word shiksa is etymologically partly derived from the Hebrew term שקץ, sheketz, which means "abomination", "impure," or "object of loathing", depending on the translator.[3]
Several dictionaries define "shiksa" as a disparaging and offensive term applied to a non-Jewish girl or woman.[4]
In Polish "siksa" (pronounced "s'eeksa") is a popular pejorative word for an immature young girl or teenage girl (there is no masculine form), as it is a conflation between the Yiddish term and usage of the Polish verb "sikać" ("to piss", "to urinate"). It means "pisspants" and is roughly equivalent to the English terms "snot-nosed brat", "little squirt", or "kid.'
Are you Jewish? While you are right, it clearly DOES not carry any racist meaning any more. Indeed, a compliment to Jewish women is something "You look like a shiksa"! Plus you didn't answer the ACTUAL question at ALL!!!!
No, I ain't Jewish. That excuse sounds like the many excuses for using the perjorative term for black people; the 'n' word. Shiksa may not carry racist meaning for those who use it, but it is clearly racist.

In Britain, as in many other countries, it is illegal for any organisation to discriminate based on race, and Jewish schools have fallen foul of this law because they only accept Jewish people, and they define whether or not you are a Jew in the Orthodox manner - based on whether your mother is...

Why is saying #AllLivesMatter considered racist?I see this everywhere: on Twitter, on forums, and on the news. I am asking this out of pure curiosity and confusion, because I don't see anything racist about the statement/hashtag.

“That’s not racist!”, "... I have lots of black friends!", "... you're the racist for making it about race!", "... I'm just being honest about the facts!", "... I was just making a joke!" So why is it so hard for people to admit that USA is a racist...

The mass of the people are forced to believe into certain religions by ways of culture, traditions, family & now the media. I challenge you to ask yourself, are you truly practing your religion because of your true faith? Or is it because it's all you've ever known?
