Adjective vs noun. Noun-izing some adjectives makes them sound like a slur

A black doctor vs a black.

A Jewish doctor vs a jew.

A female doctor vs a female.

Thanks for the explanation. It's too bad it's seen as a slur, as it's really useful to group women and girls with one word. As is "male", for men and boys. This one doesn't appear to be seen as a slur, though.
