Okay if you are going to quote me please quote it fully.

Obviously antisemitism is used to refer to Jewish people,

Also if you had read further down the Wikipedia article you would have seen this paragraph

The origin of “antisemitic” terminologies is found in the responses of Moritz Steinschneider to the views of Ernest Renan. As Alex Bein writes: “The compound anti-Semitism appears to have been used first by Steinschneider, who challenged Renan on account of his ‘anti-Semitic prejudices’ [i.e., his derogation of the “Semites” as a race].”[27] Avner Falk similarly writes: “The German word antisemitisch was first used in 1860 by the Austrian Jewish scholar Moritz Steinschneider (1816–1907) in the phrase antisemitische Vorurteile (antisemitic prejudices). Steinschneider used this phrase to characterise the French philosopher Ernest Renan’s false ideas about how ‘Semitic races’ were inferior to ‘Aryan races’”.

So there is some historical use where it refers to more than just Jewish people.

Oh and I looked up this Ernest Renan. He was a very hateful guy. He definitely hated Jewish people, though he pretty much hated everyone that wasn’t white and Christian. He probably had mixed feelings about anyone who wasn’t French too.

Look I have no agenda here. I am not trying to diminish real racism. I just find it interesting that a word has changed the common understanding of its root word.

I also find it interesting that both the Arabic and Hebrew greetings. Have the same root word, sound very similar, and both translate to peace. It just doesn’t feel relevant to my original comment.

Edit forgot the word greetings
