I don't believe gentiles using words like "schtick" or "schmuck" or "kosher" (the last a bit outside its original meaning) are antisemitic or engaging in appropriation. English, more than most other languages, relies on borrowings from other cultures & nations.
Granted, mimicking other cultures in order to seem hip is very, very annoying, & marks the actor as nothing but a damned fool.
