As of now, chatting the word "Jew" in a game will result in a "[ Content Deleted ]" on the chat GUI. Banning the name of a religion is offensive, especially considering other religions such as "Christianity" and "Islam" are not banned. I call upon Roblox to remove the word "Jew" from the Roblox Chat Filters.

Jew should be removed since you can use other racial identifications

"Jew" should be a valid racial identification because that is how you call somebody of Judaism.

@Astro

I know that, that's why it should be removed from the filtered words.

I think it is pretty obvious why this is a banned word.

@infortality

I recognize your point, but is it fair that you can call somebody of the Christian faith a Christian but not somebody of the Jewish faith as a Jew?

But it also has its negative connotations which sadly people bring up. I think this was one of the reasons it was filtered. I understand your concern but at this point there is no other sensible reason to change what has already been put in place. "Jewish" is perfectly fine and in more ways then not the more appropriate way to define their culture and religion. This could be paralleled with the word "G@y" and it's complications, such a reason why it is also still filtered.

Dude "jewish" and "jew" are synonymous.
"jew" is practically not blocked.

Though there are negative connotations involving the nickname, "Jew," used by some for derogatory purposes, I still stand by the fact that it has religious value. If Christianity/Christian and Islam pass the filter, there shouldn't be a problem with allowing, "Jew," as well.

@uBullet, you need to use the correct word. "Judaism" is different than saying "Jew"

@TimeTicks,

I understand where you're coming from in that "Jew" could be misused as a derogatory term similar to "g@y".

In this context, however, you could use a plethora of words to be hurtful. For example:

"You're a dirty [Insert Political Party Here]"

While a subcategory of politics carries no negative value, anybody could treat it as having a negative connotation. In this regard, words like "su.ck" and "g@y" should also be allowed. It is up to us as players to report improper and hurtful uses of these words and report them to moderators.

No support. It will be used as an insult, and since ROBLOX wants to avoid that at any costs, they should keep it banned.
You could say "jewish" or something, as that isn't used as an insult.
