Goyium literally just means non Jewish person. On what planet is that offensive.

It is often used in an offensive context, like saying “foreigner”

It’s really not. Gouim is just the hallachic category of a non-jew. Antisemites convince themselves it’s offensive to rationalize their belief that the Jews hate the goyim

Antisemites claim that it means cattle when is means nation, but what is true is that a lot of people use “goy” as a belittling term the same way the word “colored” was not offensive back then

It’s essentially calling someone a gentile but in Hebrew/yiddish. No one gets offended by being called a gentile

I’m not falling for it, goy is just an outdated term, try gentile or just say “non-Jew”,

Sounds like you just have a problem with Hebrew and only want to use English terms.

Gentile has the exact same etymology as goy. One is the Latin word and one is the Hebrew word

haredi jews notoriously think oppositely from you and this is coming from someone who has been around haredi jews for a large portion of my life. they call non-jews goyim and also tend to shit on jews who are less orthodox than them.

I know but many non Jews find the term goy offensive in this context, so I choose not to say it

A non Jew being offended by a Hebrew word that means non Jew doesn’t make the word offensive. It makes that person a schmuck.

This is the equivalent of a white person whining about being called “cracker.” You’re not being discriminated against.

Yes like cracker is actually meant to be aggressive. Goy literally = gentile.
