Read this Steinkamf, a goy is a male (which I would agree in Roudys case is subjective) of another nation ; ie not a Jew.
We all know the most famous quotation of all in Isaiah, “Lo yi-sa goy el goy he-rev, lo yil-me-du od mil-ha-mah”—“Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more.” (2:4)
There is absolutely nothing unseemly in the word “goy” as employed in our Torah text or other religious literature.
Our teacher, Dr. Max Kadushin, of blessed memory, a true master of Rabbinic Judaism and the pristine period of the Sages of Israel, pointed out that the term “goy” in Biblical literature always referred to a nation or a people, including all of Israel and the Jewish People. However, the Rabbis extended its usage to refer to an individual, i.e. “goy”—masculine or “goyah”—feminine.
Nonetheless, “goy” was not used in a pejorative sense.
My great teacher, Professor Rabbi Hakham Jose Faur, a senior Talmudist, always used the term “goy” when contrasting Jewish thought from non-Jewish thought. He, however, pointed out that this was in no way negative, only a term used distinguishing differences between a Jewish approach and that of everyone else.
