(January 2017) In 2006, The Spanish Federation of Jewish Communities complained that some of the dictionary's entries and definitions about Judaism were racist and offensive. One definition of sinagoga (synagogue) is: 'a meeting for illicit ends'; the nominal definition of 'synagogue' is given first, and the pejorative definition is so identified. Yerba-buena, an association of Spanish ('Gypsies' in English), complains that one definition of Gitano: 'one who practices deceit' or 'one who tricks', is offensive and could encourage racism; nevertheless, the word gitano does actually mean 'trickster' in Spanish, and other Spanish dictionaries include this definition. The RAE dismissed the complaints as political correctness, saying 'we simply photograph the landscape; we do not create it'.
