Kike

The word kike is an ethnic slur for a Jew. The slur came from the Yiddish word kikel ("circle"), due to how Jewish immigrants drew a circle instead of an X on their immigration paper.[1][2]

Usage

20th century

During the Iași pogrom on 28–30 June 1941[3][4] (13,266 Jews killed within two days),[3] a former professor was shot by a Romanian soldier for trying to save Jews who were under attack.[4] When shooting the former professor, the Romanian soldier reportedly yelled,[4]

You dog, die with the kike you are defending!

21st century

The word was spotted in several pro-Palestinian protests, with a Jewish woman in the New York City being called a "Fucking murderous kike" by a protester in an argument.[5][6] A similar incident happened at California's Occidental College and Pomona College, against which the American civil rights groups Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law filed Title VI[7] complaints for the hurt Jewish students.[8][9]
