List of ethnic slurs

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 (that is, critical or disrespectful), pejorative (disapproving or contemptuous), 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 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.

(Philippines) Pinas is the slang name for the country (Republika ng Pilipinas) Pinoy is the masculine or gender neutral form. Pinay is the feminine form. Pinoy Noir refers to a dark skinned Pinoy. In a nation where a pale complexion is prized, calling someone Pinoy Noir can be insulting. The origin of the term is believed to be from the California Filipino community in the early 1900s.[226] A Bicolano usage when replying to "Where are you from?". The reply would be "P.I., noy". A later usage as an insult dates to the early 20th century when American soldiers in the Philippines mockingly called Filipinos as "Pee-Noys.".[227] Today it is not considered insulting and is in common use by Filipinos worldwide to refer to anything related to Philippine culture.[228][229][230] There is also some slang usage as an insult, but is not common.

  115. ↑ Rich, Tracey R. "Jewish Attitudes Toward Non-Jews". Judaism 101. Retrieved 12 April 2015. There is nothing inherently insulting about the word "goy." In fact, the Torah occasionally refers to the Jewish people using the term "goy." Most notably, in Exodus 19:6, G-d [sic] says that the Children of Israel will be "a kingdom of priests and a holy nation," that is, a goy kadosh. Because Jews have had so many bad experiences with anti-Semitic non-Jews over the centuries, the term "goy" has taken on some negative connotations, but in general the term is no more insulting than the word "gentile."
