Aboriginal Australians

Abo/Abbo

(AUS) Australian Aboriginal person. Originally, 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.[26]

Boong / bong / bung

(Aus) Australian aboriginal.[27] Boong, pronounced with ʊ (like the vowel in bull), is related to the Australian English slang word bung, meaning dead; infected; or dysfunctional. From bung, to go bung "Originally to die, then to break down, go bankrupt, cease to function [Ab. bong dead]".[28] Highly offensive. [First used in 1847 by JD Lang, Cooksland, 430][29]

Gin

(AUS) an Aboriginal woman.[30]

Hori

(New Zealand), an offensive term for a Māori (from the formerly common Maorified version of the English name George).[31]

Lubra

an Australian Aboriginal woman.[32]

Arabian

Sand nigger 

person who dwells in deserts of Saudi Arabia or African continent. Derogative term used to cause offence.

Raghead 

Arabs, Indian Sikhs and some other Indian peoples, for wearing traditional headdress such as turbans or keffiyehs. Sometimes used generically for all Islamic nations.[citation needed]

Towel head 

A person who wears a turban. Often refers specifically to an Arab or Indian on their habit of wearing head dresses.[citation needed]

East Asian

Celestial 

(Aust.) In the late 1900s Chinese people in Australia were often referred to as "Celestials",[citation needed] a reference to their coming from the "Celestial Empire" (i.e. China).[34]

Charlie 

(U.S.) A term used by American troops during the Vietnam War as a shorthand term for communist guerrillas: it was shortened from "Victor Charlie," the radio code designation for Viet Cong, or VC.[35]

Chinaman 

(U.S. and English) Chinese person, used in old American west when discrimination against Chinese was common.[36] Possibly coined by early Chinese Americans from a translation of "Zhong Guo Ren" which is literally "China" and "Person." In contrast to "Frenchman" or "Irishman" which are generally considered neutral, non-insulting terms, "Chinaman" is considered offensive especially in the U.S. due to the virulent anti-Asian racism of the period in which the term came into popular usage (mid-1800s) and tends to generate objections in contemporary usage. Can be comparable to referring to a Black person as "a Negro", today. In 20th century Chicago politics, "Chinaman" had a specific, unintentionally insulting meaning. A junior politician or government worker's political patron was referred to as their "Chinaman" (or "chinaman" without the initial capital) regardless of their actual ethnic heritage or gender.[37] The term "chinaman", without the initial capital, is also regularly used in cricket in a non-ethnic sense to refer to a left-handed bowler who uses a wrist spin action.

(U.S.) a derogatory term used towards people of perceived Asian descent. Until the 1980s a U.S. school used the term as a sports mascot.[38]

Jap 

(Predominantly U.S.) Offensive. Shortened from the word "Japanese", used derogatorily towards the group.[citation needed]

Gook 

a derogatory term for Asians, used especially for enemy soldiers.[39] Its use as an ethnic slur has been traced to U.S. Marines serving in the Philippines in the early 20th century.[39] The earliest recorded use is dated 1920.[40] Widely popularized by the Korean war and Vietnam War (1965–73).

Oriental 

(Predominantly U.S., used elsewhere) Refers to an East Asian person (of the Orient) and/or their ethnicity; sometimes considered offensive.[41][42][43]

Haole (Hawaii) 

Usually not offensive, can be derogatory if intended to offend. Used by modern-day Native Hawaiians to refer to anyone of European descent whether native born or not. Use has spread to many other islands of the Pacific and is known in modern pop culture.[54]

Mangia cake / cake (Canada)

A derogatory term used by Italians to disdainfully describe those of Anglo-Saxon descent (from Italian, literally 'cake eater').

Main article: List of terms used for Germans

Germ

Heinie

The Americans and Canadians referred to Germans, especially German soldiers, as "Heinies", from a diminutive of the common German male proper name Heinrich

Kraut

Since World War II, Kraut has, in the English language, come to be used as a derogatory term for a German. This is probably based on sauerkraut, which is popular in various South-German cuisines but traditionally not prepared in North Germany.

Piefke

The Austrian ethnic slur for a German is Piefke. Like its Bavarian counterpart Saupreiß (literally: sow-Prussian) the term Piefke historically characterized the people of Prussia only

Marmeladinger

The term Marmeladinger (from Southern German/Austrian "Marmelade" = jam [cook.]) has its origin in the trenches of World War I.

Boches

Mof

In Dutch the most common term for the German people, after the regular/official one, is "mof". It is regarded as a derogative term, used exclusively for Germans and reflected Dutch resentment of the German occupation of the Netherlands during the Second World War.

Gummihals

German for rubber-neck. The term has been verified to be in use since the 1970s at least. Its actual meaning is subject to debate. Theories include the stereotype of Germans talking too much or nodding their heads endlessly when listening to superiors.
