I have heard the word "Goy" or "Goyim" said in such a way that it can be seen as an attack. The word itself is not the problem, but the context is.

I think any word can be used in a negative way, but goy in and of itself is not a slur. It simply means "nation" and is used to refer to non-Jews. I've just been seeing an uptick in the number of people that seem to think that goy is the same level as the k word or the n word and it's not.
