Many gentiles are worried that just calling someone a “Jew” these days, has sadly taken on accusatory, pejorative, anti-semitic connoations and thus feel the Jewish Person reference is more socially correct. Clearly, its a semantic distinction w/o a difference. I’m agnostic and just allow the individual to use whatever terminology they are more comfortable with. I recall my daughter at one point had a T-shirt with a “Proud Jew” logo after some local anti-semitic incident years ago….”Proud Jewish Person” sounds just a bit too woke.
