I don’t think it’s a slur for Jewish folks to use that word to refer to non Jews but when antisemites say “good goy” that’s like. An oblique slur against Jewish people. so no in the sense of what you’re asking but also kind of yes

It’s a Hebrew word for non-Jews that I didn’t even know existed as a Jewish person until recently 😭

I’ve been like, aware of it but I’ve also always been interested in religions and I think I learned about the term from a book on Orthodox Judaism years and years ago. Or I maybe osmosed it from my Jewish friends but the recent usage by 4chan types is… scary
