Closed The term 'Goyim' to be accepted as a discriminating reference to those of non-jewish heritage under the The Race Relations Act 1976

Closed on

The dictionary defines Goyim as: a non-Jewish person often used disparagingly.

Under The Race Relations Act 1976 we are protected from being discriminated against in employment on the grounds of colour, race, nationality, religious beliefs or ethnicity. We ask that the use of the word 'goyim' to be treated with the same degree of attention as any other racial slur.
