I can’t view the post but I assume it’s talking about the word “goyim” based on these comments

it was widely used in Yiddish a few centuries ago to mean “non-Jewish European” people don’t use it very often in the american jewish community except ironically or as part of a joke. it can be positive or negative depending on context but mostly neutral. in yiddish it often was more “culturally different” than better or worse

like in 1850’s Europe an Ashkenazi elder might say a younger Jew has a “goyische kopf” meaning strange new ideas from outside the Jewish community

“shabbos goy” is an affectionate term for a non-Jewish person who helps Orthodox Jewish people on Shabbat

“lo yisa goy el goy cherev” is the hebrew translation of “nation will not lift up sword against nation”

Yeahhhh I’ve seen that online used in pretty bad ways by racists. Basically like “you’re carrying water for Israel” or “you’re a useful idiot”

yeah neo nazis use it to insult non-Jews who they think work for Jews and often times ironically refer to themselves as “goys” like it’s some kind of act of resistance. there’s a myth that “goy” means “cattle” which it does noy

I’m not making an argument, I’m just saying that it’s very often misused by racists as a pejorative
