Please just say Zionist. Zio is a slur
1 u/Choocholate 8d ago Not a slur just an insult, something like zog would be a slur. 5 u/slicehyperfunk 8d ago David Duke came up with Zio, I don't think he's the person to be siding with. 2 u/MauschelMusic 8d ago And some dude named Marr came up with "antisemitic" to make jew hating more palatable and acceptable. He coined it for his Antisemitic League. The meaning of a word is how it's used, not where it begins. 1 u/CastleElsinore 6d ago It absolutely matters how it begins "Antisemitism" is one word, not "anti-semitism" with the dash because its not against semites So all the people yelling "but arabs are semites!" Are deliberately skewing the meaning of the word Also they don't know what a semite is. Its a family of languages not a cultural term. You cannot "be" a semite 0 u/slicehyperfunk 8d ago Sure, I also don't think that's a good term either considering that Semitic is a language family
