Usage note: The word "Jew" is a noun. Its use as an adjective (e.g. "Jew lawyer"😉 is widely considered offensive; "Jewish" is strongly preferred. Its use as a verb (e.g. "to jew someone"😉 is also considered offensive. Some sources, such as the American Heritage Dictionary, suggest that phrases like "Jewish person" may be offensive if pointedly used to avoid the word "Jew"

I have never heard of someone being offended by being called a Jew when the word is used in an appropiate tone of voice, indeed the entry in Wikipedia suggests it may be offensive to try and avoid it.
