Racial and Ethnic Slurs From Around the World
One of the immutable rules of political correctness is that white American
people in general, and white American males in particular, are apparently the
only people on the planet who practice discrimination and racism. However,
white American people in general, and white American males in particular, are
under constant attack from people who, if the rules were applied evenly and
fairly, would also be seen as vicious and virulent racists. An organization
called White Lives Matter would be racist. A movement that called itself The
Race would be seen as being white supremacist and separatist. If the
"n" word is the most horrible word in the English language, why do so
many of them use it so frequently? If someone white uses it, they're
automatically considered a racist. To me, barring someone from saying or doing
something because of the color of their skin is, by definition, racism, but
many people don't want to know that. On and on. Whatever. Let's see how people
who are not white and/or American address others who are different from
themselves:
Abid - Arabic for black African, means slave.
Apple - "Red on the outside, white on the inside." Used by Native
Americans to describe sellouts of their own kind.
Banana - "Yellow on the outside, white on the inside." Another
fruit-based term used by Asians toward other Asians who act like whites or are beholden to white
interests.
Bounty Bar - "Dark on the outside, light on the inside." Used by
blacks to describe other blacks who have "gone white."
Chi-Chi - Used by Indians to describe Anglo-Indians, means
"dirt."
Chug - Used by white Canadians to describe aboriginal people.
Cracker - Derogatory term for poor whites used by blacks regardless of their socioeconomic standing.
Dogan - Canadian slur for Irish Catholics.
Gin - Australian slur for an aboriginal woman. A "Gin Jockey" is
a white man who rides one.
Golliwog - British slur for Afro-Caribbeans.
Gora - Indo-Pakistani slur for a white person.
Goy - Slur used by Jews to describe Gentiles.
Gringo - Mexican slur for white Americans.
Guizi - Chinese slur for whites.
Haole - Pronounced as "howlie." Native Hawaiian slur for whites.
Honky - Used by black Americans to describe whites, and immortalized in
countless movies and TV shows. Derived from "hunky," but personally I
think it's derived from many African-American males' annoying tendency to walk down
the middle of roads and streets, hence "honky."
Hori - White New Zealander's term for a Maori.
Japie - South African equivalent of "redneck" or "white
trash."
Kaffir - White South African slur for blacks.
Kano - Filipino slur for Americans.
Keling - Derogatory Indian slur for people from Southeast Asia resident in
India.
Mabuno - Zimbabwean slur for white Africans.
Madrassi - Slur used by light-skinned Indians to refer to dark-skinned
Indians.
Malakh khor - Slur used by Iranians to describe Arabs, means "locust
eater."
Mzungu - Black African slur for a white person.
Oreo Cookie - Uses by blacks to describe other blacks who have "gone
white." What is it with all of these fruit and confection-based slurs?
Paddy - Derogatory term for an Irishman used by the British.
Paki - Slur used by the British for people from South Asia.
Palagi - Samoan slur for whites.
Pocho - Mexican slur used to describe Mexican-Americans who have
more-or-less assimilated into American society, which many consider a high
crime.
Redlegs - Barbadian term for white slaves. Yes, whites were slaves there,
too.
Seppo - A British/Australian slur for an American. Derived from
"septic tank."
Twinkie - Used by Native Americans to describe whites who claim to have
Native American ancestry and have none.
Wigger - derogatory term for whites that act like blacks.
Nice people, aren't they? Please feel free to add anything to the list.
