Inappropriate & offensive use of "Jewish" description for cartoon rat people

Note: I can't find any other way to report this issue, so I apologize if this isn't the right place.

 

A contributor has used the word "Jewish" inappropriately in the description of some of their images, in a way that is antisemitic. That word needs to be removed from the descriptions.

 

Here's what happened: Yesterday I did a search for "Jewish clipart" since I'm designing a flyer for my synagogue.  Mixed in amongst the first page of results were images of cartoon rat people, apparently because the creator included the word "Jewish" in the image description (there is nothing specifically Jewish about the visual character design).  The images on their own are not necessarily offensive, but using the word Jewish to describe them and displaying them in a search for Jewish artwork is deeply upsetting because antisemitic language often refers to Jewish people as "rats" or "vermin."

 

Here is one of the images.  Here's another that actually showed up even higher in my search results despite the fact it doesn't even have "Jewish" in the description.  And there are more like this in the creator's portfolio.

 

If there is a better way to bring this to Adobe staff's attention, I would appreciate the help. Thank you.

I agree that tagging the images with this label is inappropriate. Perhaps @Contributor1 can refer these back to the moderation team for another look.
