    Is “jew” still on the list? That one didn’t make a damn bit of sense.

      Yeah, that’s weird.

      JEW
      JEWED
      JEWING
      JEWS
      

      All removed.

      On the other hand, quite a lot of the list does make perfect sense for them to remove. “Jewed” probably needs to go. The next word is"jigaboo", also. 😬 😬 😬
