I think it's goyim. It fits given the context of referring to his own ethnic group as the k slur. Guy sounds like a giant asshole.

And what’s the k slur? As a foreigner can you please use the fucking expletives so people even understand what you are trying not to say

So, goyim is yiddish for "not jewish"[1]. The k slur is almost certainly "kike"[2] which means "totally jewish" but in the worst way.

"Goy" is usually meant as a slur in English despite it just being Yiddish for non-Jew. Very few Jews use it anymore for that specific reason.

Seems the "k slur" is being filtered automatically, unless you both chose to replace it with removed in your replies, and in that case, kudos to you for sticking with the bit. I still have no idea what the word might be, but i am also hesitant to look up slurs for jews.

That happens only in instances that filter your comment content automatically.

The slur in question is spelled "kay eye kay ee".

Thr K slur rhymes with bike, and is spelled the same, but with a k.
