Nazi/nazi

using this term for anything but a member of the National Socialist German Workers' Party robs it of an evil it properly should retain; it is also painful for a Jew to hear the word. There has been a recent outbreak of "humorous" -nazi forms, which desensitize us to a cruel piece of history. For alternatives, either describe the person's actions or consider using fascist, neo-Nazi, fanatic, extremist, bigot, racist, supremacist, white supremacist. See also concentration camp, feminazi, "final solution," Gestapo/gestapo, Hitler/little Hitler, holocaust/Holocaust.
