        can you or someone else who can see it explain why this headline was chosen? I mean, I get "boy, bye"/"goy, bye" but like...

        I've tweeted a bunch about this. We do puns and pop culture references all the time. This one was too narrow and too easy to misinterpret

        Maybe your staff should try to be journalists and not pundits.

        @HuffPost has NO journalists or reporters. They are simply alt-left, hateful, opinion editors.

        @HuffPost I'm begging you to take down/change this headline. When used in English 'goy' is considered pejorative. It's also used-

        I am sorry you feel that way. No offense at all was intended. It was meant as a pun on a Beyonce lyric, but clearly was not read that way...

        it's not about being 'offended'. It's about HuffPo unwittingly enabling anti-Semitic tropes

        Glad you changed the headline.Not sure your intent, but strikes me as poor taste at best, very offensive at worst.

        Thanks for the feedback, and I hear you. I addressed our intentions in some tweets earlier. We meant no offense whatsoever.

        Was this thread referring to their headline? If so, their "sorry, not sorry" apology is shallow... Typical leftists.
