Don't get overwrought! I mean, didn't you see the atheists who weren't offended?! Don't they count?
It really irritates me how many people think just because they aren't offended, that something isn't offensive. I can tell you right now I can find a Jew or two who would not be offended by the phrase "Jewed us down". Some of the people defending the use of the phrase are the same ones who will go on and on and on and on...etc... about "microaggressions" against women and African-Americans, sometimes even finding the time in their infinite rage to include discussing those "attacks" against GLBT and "brown" people, but somehow can't be bothered to understand this is a form of microaggression against an actual minority.
Hang in there. Trust me, as a Jew, I get a very similar treatment when I dare to point out anti-Semitism. But, every now and again, you will get through to some, and a few who aren't members of your group will stand up and with you...like me. I am not an atheist, but I do stand with you!
