Look, I come from Jewish ancestry too, on both sides, although no one in family is a practicing Jew for three generations now. My point is sorta what Lemursrule said: The symbol or its name for that matter can be given any meaning we want.

As for my problem with PC, what do you think would happen if the ADL got wind of this chapter? We all know they'll start raising havoc for Kubo and Bleach in the US and Europe. I'm just as sensitive as the next person (or try my best to be), but PC in the Western World has become this voracious monster that constantly needs feeding to the point that we all need to apologize all the time for everything we say, no matter what our intentions were saying it. The end result of PC is not oversensitivity to offenses but rather desensitivity that comes from seeing every knat as a mosquito and every mosquito as a bee.

Mangas and animes have suffered from Western PC in the past and will continue to suffer because the Japanese rightfully refuse to give in to our ridiculous process of policing our thoughts. We as fans of manga and anime should support this phenomenon, not suppress it.
