When it comes to words like these,
I personally think it would be best to let people who practice Judaism decide.
I do agree that depending on the tone used, the word could just be used without second thought and negative connotation, but it would still be normalizing a word that could be used harmfully towards and entire community that already had many hardships and discrimination endured beforehand.
Just to be safe, I make sure to avoid it, even in my race and nation papers.
