ETHNIC SLURS

Specialty Definition: List of ethnic slurs

The following is a list of ethnic slurs that are, or have been, used to refer to members of a given ethnicity (or, in some cases, nationality or religion) in a derogatory or pejorative manner. The term is listed, followed by its primary user(s) and a definition.
Not all terms on the list are considered equally offensive. Many of these terms are used more widely than would be imagined based on their "definition", for example, Chink can be used to refer to any Asian person. The key here is that the person using the slur cares so little about the target, that the person's actual background is irrelevant. The motivation for using an ethnic slur is often racism.

It is not uncommon for minority groups to adopt an originally disparaging term and use it of themselves, as an act of self-assertion. However, they may be extremely offended if it is used by others; the N-word is an extreme example.

N

Naga - U.S., a black person (Naga stands for North American Ground Ape, used by the LAPD during the Watts riot in LA)

Nazi - North America, Europe, etc, a German person

Newfie - Canada, a person from Newfoundland, can be used as a term of pride

****** - U.S./U.K., a black person (also "niggra," southern U.S. pronunciation; "*****," Ebonics); New Zealand, a Maori

night fighter - U.S., a black person

NIG NOG - U.K., a black person (adapted from niknok, see below)

niknok - Netherlands, Dutch word equivalent to ******

ninny - U.S., a black person (short for pickaninnie)

Nip - U.S., someone of Japanese descent (from Nippon, an Anglicization of the Japanese name for Japan)

You know full well what she meant. OK, she was wrong. But what is worse, her being wrong or you framing cheap questions on Yahoo Answers at your mother's expense? Grow up! And relearn some family loyalty! You needn't have said this!
