    Would you consider yourself anti-antisemite?

    The word Jew at least makes some sense: it’s commonly understood to refer to the Jewish religion or people. Semite however makes little sense as it doesn’t really mean Jewish people. It’s a backward, antiquated, imprecise holdover from 18th century historians (who coined racial terms from the bible).
