What's the origin of the word "antisemitism" anyway? Did the word always mean "bigotry against Jews"?
I ask because this reminds me of the way that white people are sometimes called "Caucasian" even when they're not from the Caucasus mountains. Turns out that originated from a German eugenicist so I'm wondering if this word has a similarly sus history.
