4/8/10: Idea #10: Racial Slurs

Racial Slur Database

I never knew there were so many racial slurs. Some of them are funny but they probably shouldn't be because someone is offended by them. I think it is interesting that some slurs are actually used as self identification. For example, I know many Filipino people who all themselves flip. Apparently this is not acceptable.

You can search certain words too. I decided to look up mud because I have a piece with dirt/mud:

Mud Duck	Blacks	Dark skin. See Mud People.
Mud People	Blacks	Sentiment that only Wasps are born with souls, everyone else God made from mud. Also suggests life without meaning, value or worth. Used by the church that was attended by Mr. Smith - the hate killer that shot up a bunch of Jews and Blacks in the summer of '99.
Mud Turtle	Blacks	Being bottom-feeders; Mud "musk" turtles have a distinct odor and are mud-colored
Blackfoot	French	Possible reference to French-Indian War and/or WW1 and the general sense of French cowardess during wars. Since they had no boots due to the trenches eating them away, when they ran their feet became all covered in mud. Or French born in North Africa.
Muckadoo	Blacks	Shawnee, Native American term for "Mud person"
Mud	Mixed Races	Black/White mix, or white women who date black men
Mud Flaps	Blacks	Black people who have large lips.
Mud Shark	Whites	White girls who date black men.

When you put in the term "mixed" the list is really long for racial slurs that are used against various races. I have heard of several black/white mixed people referring to themselves as "mulatto". It directly translates to Mule, offspring of a donkey and a horse. Racial/ethnic slurs are also called ethnophaulisms

Bumblebee Mixed Races Black/Oriental couple or mixed child. Halfro Mixed Races White/Black Mixed Race McSpic Mixed Races Mixed race of Irish and Hispanics Mullato Mixed Races Black/White mix, usually. The Spanish "Mullato" translates to "like a mule." Could refer to any mixed breed. Mutt Mixed Races Any mix of races. The regular use of 'mutt' refers to dogs of mixed breed. Race-Traitor Mixed Races White/Any other race mix. Term used by whites for any person of mixed race or who marries a non-white..
