Khazar entry - stick with basic facts
The "Khazar" entry in this dictionary is not the place to insert opinions and bias. The idea that some Jews descend partially from the Khazars is neither racist nor pejorative in itself and has been suggested by many prominent Jewish writers and historians over the centuries including Maurice Fishberg, Elkan Nathan Adler, Mordechai I. Soloff, Salo Wittmayer Baron, Norman Golb, Peter Benjamin Golden, and many others.

Furthermore, the religious composition of the Khazar tribe is heavily debated, and based on medieval documentary sources many ethnic Khazars were shamanists, others were Jews, others were Muslims, and still others were Christians.

This entry isn't an appropriate place to insert loaded language like "pejorative", "discredited", and "myth" onto scholarly hypotheses that are still debated and have a long history in scholarship.2600:1000:B104:1EB:8EB3:43B7:4A7B:8C7 22:15, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

User:Theknightwho and User:Surjection want the so-called "pejorative" second definition preserved. It nevertheless needs to be changed to neutral language if not deleted altogether. For example, by saying "by reference to a claim about their origin in eastern Europe" instead of "by reference to a discredited, racist myth of their origin in Europe" 2600:1000:B104:1EB:8EB3:43B7:4A7B:8C7 09:50, 3 January 2023 (UTC)


 * You must have missed the label that says, which means that your proposed changes are obviously inappropriate. Theknightwho (talk) 14:13, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
