Is the term 'Jewish person' politically correct as opposed to the term 'Jew'?

Saying "He's a Jew" is not bad in itself. It could only be considered bad if it's being said as an obvious insult. The same can be said for "He's Jewish".

ALWAYS OKAY: "He's Jewish."

NOT GOOD: "Jewish person"

BAD, BAD, BAD: "He's a Jew."

GOOD: "Jewish kid," as in, "A Jewish kid came to our Sunday School class to talk about Jewish holidays."

PROBABLY GOOD, DEPENDING ON YOUR AGE: "Jewish guy," as in, "I met a Jewish guy at the soccer game today."
