I think it is far more derogatory when used as an adjective, e.g. "jew business", "jew food", "jew music", as opposed to "Jewish". It's sort of like how you would say "Chinese food" instead of "China food". Yes, like driving through the rain being a Jewish carwash. Or using deodorant instead of bathing being a Polish shower. Or a handgun being a Puerto Rican credit card......Okay I'll stop now....

Meh, still better than the faux pas I made.
I used the word "gypped" to a Romanian girl once. It took a couple seconds for me to realize what I'd said and why she was looking at me like that.
I think that's why our acquaintanceship never reached "friendship" status.

As it has been said above it's all context, any word can be derogatory.
My mission to use non-derogatory word in a derogatory manner.
