List of ethnic slurs - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org
I found this today and it's already one of my favorite entries on Wikipedia. I figured this would be the place that could appreciate it as much as I do.

Which is your favorite? Did you learn any new ones you want to start using? Is there any important ones that are missing?

You heard them, there will never be enough slurs. Get going on cooking up some new ones, boys.

Edit: I found some more lists that are worth talking about so I changed the scope of the thread



Post any other articles like this to add so we can have a dedicated list of every possible slur.

Also a couple strange ones that don't necessarily fit into the thread but are humorous nonetheless.

I propose "Tax payer" as an ethnic slur against white people that is in reality an insult to all other ethnicities.

Does anything else need to be said about this being listed as an ethnic slur?
 
Gin Jockey - A white person having casual sex with an Aboriginal woman.

OK, that's pretty funny even though I don't get it.

However, the fact that CIS, Cishet, or any of its derivatives isn't listed means the list has no credibility. Of course, it's Wikipedia so that's to be expected.

It's a list of racial slurs, not all slurs in general. There could be a different list that has them that I am not aware of.

Funny how it only gets used against white men though. Or at least, the slur version is only ever used against white men.

Either way, I still vote for Gin Jockey.
 
does it have to be ethnic slurs? some of my favourite pejoratives aren't ethnic they're instead from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_regional_nicknames
(ctrl+f pejorative) 143 results, but don't be fooled most of the ones not labelled pejorative are still pejoratives.


I just like how lazy most of them are there's something charming about it.

How are jap, abo, and paki slurs, when they're just shortenings?

There are tons of shortenings like that, which didn't begin as derisive names, but were declared "slurs" retroactively by the usual suspects. It plays into their Forever War on language, and their status-seeking shibboleth game of inventing new vocabulary every week to separate themselves from the backwards proles using last week's vocab.

Jap for Japanese, Paki for Pakistani, Heeb for Hebrew, Yank for Yankee.

Even stuff like "Gook" just means "country" (North Korea being "Hanguk", and South being Choson/Joson). "Nip" for Nippon/Nihon, the Japanese name for themselves, as in NEC/Nippon Electronics Company, Nippon Steel, etc.

And of course the euphemism treadmill of Negro (black in most Romance languages) --> Coloured --> Black --> African American --> "People of Color".
