Thread Name: Was 'Lord of the Dance' anti-semitic?
Subject: RE: Was 'Lord of the Dance' anti-semitic?
Volgadon, I don't think anyone is disputing that Wilhelm Marr or any other 19th century Austrian scholar coined the phrase to mean anti-Jewish. But you have said yourself that the word semitic is incorrect when used in anything but terms of a linguistic group. I ask, once again, if that is the case why keep using it and insisting it is the correct term?

Cheers
