Antisemitism and The Goy

Dave Rogers said:
Since Clayton's had these pointed out to him several times already and is simply pretending they don't exist, is there any point telling him yet again?

Can we consider it an experiment to see if the selective blindness reflex ever wears out?
 
I assume that you'll ignore my word for it that we gays use the term homophobe to refer to hate groups all the damn time and that we occasionally debate the appropriateness of the term because of precisely the objection you raise. But, we gays use the term homophobe to refer to hate groups all the damn time and we occasionally debate the appropriateness of the term because of precisely the objection you raise.

As a Jew, there is nothing derogatory about the word "Goy."



ETA: How have I missed this thread?


ETAA: Oh, I've got one: Barbarian. That was the Greek word for anyone who wasn't Greek.

ETAAA: Mud people. Seriously, how have I missed this thread?

Lie number two.


Name one non Jewish group that has/uses a unique derogatory word devoted to only people who supposedly hate them and only them.

Name one non Jewish group that has a unique derogatory word that refers to ALL people who are not of that group.

You know, I just figured it out. We've all been answering the wrong question!

We've answered the question, "Why are the Jews the only people who have a derogatory word for people who are not Jewish?", by correctly pointing out that the question is fallacious in its underlying assumptions.


But the question Clayton actually asked was, "Why are the Jews the only people, that I know of, who have a derogatory word for people who are not Jewish?"


The addition of the qualifier "that I know of" actually changes this into a question about why Clayton believes this to be true.

So, Clayton, the correct answer to the question you really asked is, "The reason you only know about the Jews having a derogatory word for people who are not Jewish is that you've allowed your irrational hatred of them to blind you to every other example out there, so as to allow you to manufacture another excuse for continuing to hate them."

Alas, your irrational hatred will probably blind you to this answer as well, but the others here will find this interesting.

Duh. We have all been wrong, but I didn't realize it until I read this. However, you got it wrong again.

Clayton asked a question that was just an extremely straightforward question, and not one person has addressed it. He asked,"Why are the Jews the only people who have a derogatory word for people who are not Jewish?"

To phrase it more elaborately -

Why is it that the Japanese do not have a deragatory term for people who are not Jewish? Why is it that Ecuadorans do not have a derogatory term for people who are not Jewish? Why is it that Australians do not have a derogatory term for people who are not Jewish? Why is it that the Jews are the only people who have a derogatory word for people who are not Jewish?

And ya know something? He's right. Among all the races of the world, or ethnicities, or religions, or whaterver it is that Jews are, not one of them other than the Jews have a derogatory term to describe all non-Jews.

It's a crying shame, it is.


(ETA: And I went back and read the thread, and it seems that several others have brought this up before me. Oh, well. I'll go back to my other interpretation and just repeat my most recent responses.

Clayton is wrong even in his assumption that goy applies equally to everyone not Jewish. And goy also can apply to things. I vaguely remember a Lenny Bruce routine about this, but I may be wrong....

A ham sandwich on white bread with mayo and lettuce is very goy. A corn beef on rye with pickles is very Jewish. Fried rice in a Chinese restaurant is somewhere in between, and in fact may not be goy at all.

It.s hard to explain, and I probably do not understand it myself (as I mentioned I haven't heard the term goy used a lot in my life) but I think that being boring and non-Jewish is considered more goy than being interesting and non-Jewish.

Exactly! That was my early life.

In thinking Bruce's routine over, it is even possible Clayton is "Jewish"as Bruce would define it. Hey Clayton, if so welcome to the club! You may be surprised to find no evil rituals and no secret conspiracies, but the food is pretty good.
