Definitions
An ethnic slur targeting Jewish people, using an association with bagels — a food historically associated with Ashkenazi Jewish culture. The term is unambiguously derogatory and should be treated as a slur. It is not used as a neutral descriptor, and reclamation within the Jewish community is not established in the way some other slurs have been. Typically encountered in hate speech documentation, historical records of antisemitism, and educational contexts discussing ethnic slurs.
The graffiti on the wall included 'bagel bender', one of several antisemitic slurs used to target the community.
