Anti-semite was a term coined to be a fancy way to say "Jew-hater".
Regardless of other groups that call themselves "semites", it STILL
means "Jew-hater". To change its meaning unnecessarily extends the
conversation while the person who used the term originally has to state
that they meant to say "Jew hater", and only belongs in an argument
where winning is more important to you than being right.
