Is 'mong' an offensive word?

[Gandalf]

The race thing is something that interests me because I was accused of being racist on the main board last week and I have never used racist terminology on that board (and I don't regard Jews as a race). However, now that I think about it, even if you do, it shouldn't be a bother. You aren't hurting anyone. How is calling someone a white big eared git different to being an Asian small dick? These are both insults, but why do we draw the line at race? Both are negative and insulting, but we seem to place greater significance into one over the other in the here and now and that just seems silly.

How are Jews less of a race than any other race? Please explain this as this sounds like racism of the worst kind to me.

I don't really see Jews as a race of their own. Lou Reed for instance is of Jewish heritage, but I just see him as a white guy with curly hair. Jewishness is secondary to being fundamentally caucasian.

I view Jewishness largely on religious grounds. I look a little bit 'Jewish', but it would be incorrect to label me as a Jew. Jews can really look any way. Zab Judah was certainly not your stereotypical 'Jew'. However, Zab is quite clearly a dark skinned man. That is race to me, religious affiliation is not an automatic barometer of race.
