The word “Jew” has existed in one form or another for thousands of years and is still completely accepted in contemporary English.
“Jew” is the classic example of something that shouldn’t be offensive, but tends to be used aggressively, so people who don’t want to be aggressive use a longer form (“Jewish person”). If someone in the US uses the word Jew and they’re not obviously Jewish, they sound antisemitic.

This seems not universal and highly context-dependent.
