1. Part of my family is Jewish, I have grown up around Jews my entire life, so I stand by my statement
2. Whatever “goyim” “goy” and shiksa might have meant a long time ago, how tbe words are used now is/are a pejorative. As in “stupid shiksa”, “goyishe kopf” dumb goy etc.
Heard it my whole life.

Heard it my whole life.You say part of your family is Jewish? What does this mean? My experience as a full Jew ---- I have heard those words used pejoratively maybe 10 times in my life. "Goy" --- I have rarely heard a Jew use that one at all. It's kind of dated. Shiksa I have heard more often as a neutral or complimentary statement. Such as he "He's going out with a lovely blond Shiksa". This said in a joking ironic way. "Goyim" I have heard as a simple statement of them being non-Jewish. Not said derisively
The usage you are angry about is dated back to when Al Capone was still alive

I would suggest that you get out more. When you can say "Jews" (there are 15 million world wide) " hate Christians" with a straight face, then maybe you hang out with too many bad people. That is, unless you know all 15 million.
BTW, Orthodox Judaism forbids the hatred of non-Jews. Period. So might I suggest you hang out with "better" Jews?
