A slur doesn't stop being a slur because teenagers started using it. Today's @nytimes "On Language" column treats the antisemitic slur "goyslop" as a fun linguistic curiosity rather than what it is: a term rooted in white supremacist conspiracy theories.
Normalizing this kind of language is dangerous. "Goyslop" is not just edgy slang. It combines "goy," the Hebrew word that colloquially refers to non-Jews, with "slop" to promote a conspiracy theory that Jewish people deliberately poison non-Jews with cheap food to keep them docile. It was coined and spread by antisemites and white supremacists. No amount of teenage adoption changes that origin.
Such terms spread negative stereotypes and conspiracy theories. Their normalization is exactly what the bigots who coined them aspire to. A bit more on this here: https://t.co/eHiz3qmayF
@GovMikeHuckabee@HilzFuld@JNS_org Fuck off to Israel permanently.
The American people do not want anything to do with Israel or jews any longer.
Don’t let a Holocaust hit you in the ass on your way out
@EmethShlomo@ElectBilzerian These are American companies. Youre a disgustingly hideous parasite. Every American I know hates jews and Israel now.
Your alone. The ENTIRE PLANET HATES YOU.
