Do you think that implies that gentiles as a whole are not righteous?

Not all the Gentiles are not righteous. Not all the Jews are also righteous either.
In Jewish tradition, "Righteous Gentiles" are those who saved Jews in the exile. They are considered saint heroes. I think the authors of this use this term to show respect to the Gentiles who support the Jews in such a difficult time for us.

Well you both have explained that pretty well. Thanks.

No. In any group there are righteous and not righteous. The righteous gentiles refers to gentiles who are good people. There are also righteous Jews and unfortunately there are traitors and erev Rav Jews also who I would never call righteous nor would anyone in their right mind.
I have a hard time believing you asked that question seriously and honestly.

To me, the litmus test of a righteous gentile is whether he or she supports Israel, because this is what G-d commands. Invariably, people who support Israel are righteous in other ways, as well. But an attitude to Israel is just an easy indicator of whether the person stands on the right or wrong side of Goos and Evil.

Why put a label on Righteous? Either one is Righteous or not.
There are righteous Jews and Gentiles and the righteous have no need for condemnation on either side.
That is why they are Righteous.
