Thread Name: Jews Harp banned?
Subject: RE: Jews Harp banned?
I'm surprised he didn't quote 'Health and Safety'. Anyway, he's wrong. There's no more reason to avoid 'Jew's Harp' than to avoid French horn, cor anglais, or, for that matter, African drums. That's because the word is not being used negatively. No-one is using the term to say that Jews (or harps!) are inferior.
