Ari Shaffir: A Joke About The Word "Goy"

**Ari Shaffir** (0:05)
I was raised orthodox Jewish. I don't know what that is. That's a Frisbee Jew, you know, that kind. Second highest level of Jew. One step down from Hasidic Jew, or as I call them, mortal combat Jews. Yeah, whenever you see one, just go, finish him. And they'll know who I'm talking about, it's great. The ones with the, you know, the sideburns, the long, the curly fries, as my black friend calls them. Yeah, my friend, Ms. Pat, she came to visit me in New York. She'd never seen one. There's very few Hasidic Jews in the black ghetto of Atlanta. She saw her first time we were talking, she just goes like...
She was like, Ori. She didn't want to say my name, but she's like, Ori, is that an Amish? And I'm like, no, I mean, yeah, more or less, yeah. It's pretty much the same shit. She goes, why that man has Curly Pryes? I'm like, those are not Curly Pryes. She goes, what they do? And I'm like, first of all, the grammar on you people is on another planet.
And by you people, I don't mean black people, I mean non-Jews. Yeah, Jews are racist, but we don't see skin color. We see IQ and income level. That's all about this podcast. Yeah, Goy, that's all you guys are. You ever hear that word? Goy, it's Yiddish for non-Jew. Yiddish is like Jewish ebonics.
Goy means non-Jew. And just so you know, when you hear it, you think it's fun and friendly when they're saying it to you. It's not, they're shitting on you to your face. Goy is a derogatory word. Probably my favorite derogatory word. Yeah, because most derogatory words, they single out one race or culture and make them feel bad. Not Goy. Goy is the most inclusive of all the derogatory words. So you know how pompous that is to have as your term for the other? That means to them it's one tenth of one percent of the world. And then, ugh.
Various shades of Goy. Watch Ari Shaffir, Jew, only on Netflix.
