It's a yiddish phrase meaning a Jew who's an embarrassment to Jews before the goyim. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it, but the point is there are certain things non-Jews should not say, and Kapo is one of them.
I had a Jewish friend call me as a joke. The joke being that I'm not Jewish, but I'm embarrassing enough to associate with that the term applies anyway.
That's not the most complimentary turn of phrase, either. It's like being called "laowai" or "gaijin". It identifies the victim of the slur as The Other and not to be trusted.
Well, speaking generally, no. Bad treatment really does not produce enlightenment. A lot of people want to find a silver lining and will try harder the worse something is.
And also, when you're part of the minority group being othered, you literally have to other the majority group - it's a fact of daily life.
They're already othered by the majority group! It's already done. They are others. How dare black slaves treat white people as a group separated from themselves???? lol
Well it obviously has worse context in Israel used against Palestinians but that was not part of the discussion and obviously the person posting about "I had a jewish friend" doesn't live in Israel.

What's a goyim?

Kind of a weird word. Smells close to the way Christians use "heretic" or Muslims use "infidel".

The majority group in Israel is Jewish people.
