List of ethnic slurs

[hide]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss

these issues on the talk page.

This article possibly contains original research. (December 2014)

This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2014)

The following is a list of ethnic slurs (ethnophaulisms) that are, or have been, used as insinuations or allegations

about members of a given ethnicity or to refer to them in a derogatory (critical or disrespectful), pejorative (disapproving orcontemptuous), or insulting manner. For the purposes of this list, an ethnic slur is a term designed to insult others on the

basis of race, ethnicity, or nationality. Each term is listed followed by its country or region of usage, a definition, and a

reference to that term.

However the complexity of the issue of the listing and usage of such terms needs to be noted. For instance, many of the

terms listed below (such as "Gringo", "Yank", etc.) are used by large numbers of human beings in many parts of the world

as part of their ordinary speech or thinking without any intention of causing offence, and with little or no evidence that such

usage does in fact cause much or indeed any offence, while the implicit or explicit labeling of such large numbers of people

as racists (or similar terms such as prejudiced, bigoted, ethnophobic, xenophobic, etc.), simply because they use some

words on the list below, can itself be deeply unfair and insensitive and can thus cause deep offence.

Ethnic slurs may also be produced by combining a general-purpose insult with the name of ethnicity, such as "dirty Jew",

"Russian pig", etc. Other common insulting modifiers include "dog", "filthy", etc. Such terms are not included in this list.

A [edit]

Abbie, Abe, and Abie

(North America) a Jewish male. From the proper name Abraham. Originated before the 1950s.[1]

ABC

(East Asia) American-born Chinese, Han or other Chinese (including Taiwanese) born and raised in the United States.

While not always pejorative, the term implies an otherness or lack of connection to their Chinese identity and (usually)Chinese language(s).[2]

ABCD

(South Asians in the US) American-Born Confused Desi , Indian Americans, Pakistani Americans or other South Asians,

(desi) who were born in the United States. Used chiefly by South Asian immigrants to imply confusion about cultural

identity.[3]

Abo/Abbo

(AUS) Australian Aboriginal person. Or iginally, this was simply an informal term for Aborigine, and was in fact used by

Aboriginal people themselves until it started to be considered offensive in the 1950s. In remoter areas, Aboriginal

people still often refer to themselves (quite neutrally) as Blackfellas (and whites as Whitefellas). Although Abo is still

considered quite offensive by many, the pejorative boong is now more commonly used when the intent is deliberately to

offend, as that word's status as an insult is unequivocal.[4]

Ali Baba

(US) an Iraqi suspected of criminal activity.[5]

Alligator bait

(US) also Gator Bait. A black person, especially a black child. More commonly used in states where alligators are

found, particularly Florida. First used in the early 20th century, although some hypothesize the term originated in the

late 19th century.[6]

Ann

(North America) a white woman to a black person—or a black woman who acts too much like a white one. While Miss

Ann, also just plain Ann, is a derisive reference to the white woman, by extension it is applied to any black woman who

puts on airs and tr ies to act like Miss Ann.[7]

K [edit]

Kaffir, kaffer, kaffir, kafir, kaffre, kuffar

a. (South Africa) a black person.

b. also caffer or caffre : a non-Muslim (regardless of race).

c. a member of a people inhabiting the Hindu Kush mountains of north-east Afghanistan. Origin is from the Arab word

kafir meaning infidel used in the early Arab Zanzibarian trading posts on the Indian Ocean coast in Africa to refer to the

non-Islamic black people living in the interior of Africa. The term is still used as a pejorative by some Muslims,

particularly Islamists in such a context. The term passed into modern usage through the British because on early

European maps Southern Africa was called by cartographers Cafreria (the name derived from the Arab word "kafir")

and later Kaffraria. Thus the British used the term "kaffirs" to refer to the mixed groupings of people displaced by

Shaka when he organized the Zulu nation. These groups (consisting of Mzilikaze, Matiwani, Mantatisi, Flingoe,

Khoikhoi, and Xhosa peoples inhabited the region from the Cape of Good Hope to the Limpopo river) fought the Britishin the Kaffir Wars 1846–1848, 1850–1852, and 1877–1878. [143][144] See also Kaffir (Historical usage in southern Africa)

a white person. Very offensive, particularly when used towards those unaffiliated with the Ku Klux Klan.

as Turks.[235]
