“Goyim” means gentile in a derogatory way...

That is common thought, however goyim is a Biblical word. It simply means nations.

Goy = nation, Goyim = nations

There are dozens of references in the Torah that refer to the Jews not being the same as the [other] nations (Goyim).

So, Jews call non-Jews “nations” or goyim.

I can think of nothing derogatory about it unless there is a non-Jew who does not want to be referred to as being not Jewish.

It is clear you missed the point of what I was saying.
