[Define "semite"](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Semite):\
|
||
|
|
1a: a member of any of a number of peoples of ancient southwestern Asia including the Akkadians, Phoenicians, Hebrews, and Arabs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1b: a descendant of these peoples
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2: a member of a modern people speaking a Semitic language
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If "anti-semite" specifically means "racism against the Jews",
|
||
|
|
1. ASSuming 1A, wouldn't that make it mean "racism against Arabs" and other ancient civils in that region too? Wouldn't that mean that Arabs are basically against themselves?
|
||
|
|
2. ASSuming 1b, wouldn't that mean it means "racism against pretty much anyone"?
|
||
|
|
3. ASSuming 2, wouldn't that mean that you're racist towards multiple groups of native speakers rather than a skin color (and therefore it being NOT racism)?
