Modern derogatory sense

Is the problem that some non-Jews think that the word "Goy" is a slur is because they use the word "Jew" as a slur? SunDog | Talk 19:28, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Since when does the person saying the supposed slur get to decide whether it is a slur or not? Many racists don't think their words are racist. They're still racist. 209.181.62.178 (talk) 16:19, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Goy article needs a good edit

I just wanted to point out that the last 2 paragraphs (beginning with "in modern usage in english" and "the word goy is sometimes used by") of the intro section of this article are highly inflammatory and intensely antisemetic, especially the part making claims about the "chosen people...lying". Super problematic. I considered signing in to make an edit myself, but reconsidered since I didnt want to play "white knight", and thought maybe i should leave the editing for more qualified people who are better acquinted with the subject matter. But I def felt the need to point it out and hopefully bring it to attention that this should be addressed. Thank you. 209.91.132.90 (talk) 17:13, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, by the time I'd made my topic comment it looks like someone else had already caught it. Thanks! :) 209.91.132.90 (talk) 17:16, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't worry about playing the white knight - nobody's more qualified when it comes to tackling horrible vandalism. There's a lot of rubbish being thrown at this article, and I'm sure many others, at the moment.Atrapalhado (talk) 19:27, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
