To the list:
The words "yekke" and "yekkishe" to denote "German" (n) and "German"
(adj)
are derogatory.  Their equivalents would be "wop"  or "dago" for
"Italian", for   example.  If use of the Yiddish is necessary or
desirable,  the word "daytsh"
would be appropriate.

No, the word "daytsh" or, in their pronunciation, "daatsh", is also
a derogatory word among Galician hasidim, referring to anyone who is
more assimilated than they are. Sorry. How about "Hebrews of the
Western persuasion?"
