I thought about asking Cecil this, but was deferred by a friend to the teeming millions first. A debate ensued awhile back with another friend as to if there was a slur to every race/nationality in the world.
He said he could think of one for any country and I stumped him with Uruguay. So, to settle this rather bigoted argument, is there a slur for every race/nationality in the world? A list would be helpful, as I may run into a bitchy Uruguayan in the future and do not want to be without an insulting comeback.
I don’t know what a slur for Uruguay is, but I’d bet the Uruguayans’ next-door neighbors know one, or more. And that formula probably works around the world.
You’re a big help. :roll eyes: Well, if we could organize a world effort to answer this thread, we’d be in luck. But since I know people in maybe two countries, and don’t speak every language in the world, I’m up shit creek. Would this be better suited for Cecil? Are the teeming millions going to fail me???
Well, yeah, if you want to compile a list of slurs for every race/nationality in the world, it is going to require some research effort. And the obscure ones will best be found by asking the neighbors.
So, what’re you going to do with the list once you’ve compiled it?
I checked the Racial Slur Database (I’d post a link to it, but it might be against the rules…and there’s a bit of profanity in the URL, as well), and there’s nothing for “Uruguay,” but about every OTHER slur for EVERY race is in there. Even nationalities.
Just run a google search for “Racial Slur Database”, and you should find it. You’ll love it, it’s fun!
Splendid database. You don’t have a word for African-Americans, French people, Russians or Indians?
Methinks you are looking for controversy and fireworks.
