Yeah, I've seen it, too! I think the reasoning, if any, is the same sort used to claim "cisgendered" is a slur: Or possibly:I've never had to refer to my own category with specific words! It makes me uncomfortable. Why not just say "Jews and normal people"? I don't like being labeled with an identity that I've never thought about, and since I don't like it, it's a slur.
Well, whenever I say "Jew" I mean it as a slur, so how could "goy" be innocuous?

YES. It's the whole being accustomed to being the default thing.
