As if the Jews are the ones who decided on the term. Antisemitism as a term was popularized by Wilhelm Marr, an antisemite. The reason it's a special term is not to make Jews special, but because it was more palatable than "racism" to the people who first used it.

> The compound word antisemitismus was first used in print in Germany in 1879 as a "scientific-sounding term" for Judenhass (lit. 'Jew-hatred'), and it has since been used to refer to anti-Jewish sentiment alone
