Off your meds today?
Geez, I did a search and this was the first thing to pop up:
https://www.ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=Welsh
I'm sorry I didn't fully research it to your satisfaction.
I did a search for welsh and the 3 I linked were the first 3 that showed up (in fact the site you linked doesn't even show up on the first page for me). And every single one of them mentioned it being possibly offensive. And you then went out of your way to cite two different ones (both of which I linked to their definition for welsh/welch) to try and make the point about them citing Jew being used offensively.
Um, well if you're going to try to make stupid points you should maybe research them?
And for anyone wondering why I reacted like I did, its because this person was using similar lack of knowing what they were talking about to try and make an argument in another thread that dealt with ethnicity (and if I remember correctly regularly posts in such a manner on similar topics). So either they're playing a neo-con caricature with the points they're trying to make or are just being really stupid and basing their arguments on 2 seconds of searching (which my posts were just going out of my way to show that 2 seconds of searching kinda disputes their points so that I think there's definitely more to it than just simple ignorance based on convenience).
At the very least, "welshing" doesn't have the public stigma that comes with "jewing" or "gyping". Not everyone gets off scot-free.
That's because a link to it being used as a derogatory ethnic term doesn't seem to be well established. Whereas, well there's that whole Holocaust thing...
Isn't it weird that terms describing groups that have had to deal with ethnic cleansing and rampant bigotry and hatred have it mentioned that the term is used in a far too often derogatory way? That's so weird, right? Here, let me base all of my knowledge of that on literally one second of research (allegedly, because a lot of sites that tend to be more popular all seem to explicitly point out the potential offensive aspect) and then wonder why that is? Because, that's weird, right? I mean who could imagine why the definition of Jew might mention its derogatory use, right? Because we know the Welsh have had a lot of hatred towards them all over the world for centuries, and had one of the most vile and horrible acts of genocide committed against them in relatively recent history. Oh wait, no, that's Jews? Still can't figure out why the dictionary would mention how Jew is used offensively...
(That's in no way to belittle the Welsh, who have had their own struggles, and absolutely have faced some messed up stuff thanks to the Roman Empire and Anglo-Saxon control of the region, probably among other things, my knowledge of Welsh history is hardly profound; and yet within a few seconds of Googling I was seemingly able to trump some other people's knowledge...).
