: antisemitic term for haggling or bargaining for a cheaper
price
WHY IT’S ANTISEMITIC:
A derogatory post connecting Jewish people with bargaining.
Rooted in the false stereotype that Jews are cheap or
stingy, the phrase “Jew down” may seem to be a harmless
expression that’s used in everyday vernacular. However, it is
an insulting, antisemitic misrepresentation of Jewish behavior
that plays into the trope of Jews as greedy money handlers
who are unwilling to part with their earnings (see greed).
The common, mainstream use of antisemitic terms, like Jew
down, plays a dangerous role in normalizing antisemitism and
reinforcing conspiracy theories in the minds of antisemites.
