I’m looking for more words to describe people that come from ethnic/religious groups. Any language is fine.
Vandal - from the Germanic tribe
Cannibal - from the Caribe tribe
Thug - from the Indian Thuggee cult
Assassin - from an Islamic sect
Here’s one from Dutch:
The Dutch word for heretic is ketter which comes from Cathar.
Barbarian.
Goyim
Gentile
giaour
Infidel
horde?
Infidel comes from Latin words for “not faithful,” not from the name of a tribe or ethnic group.
Bugger - from Bulgar.
Goth - from the, you know, Goths.
Slaves - from Slavs
Welcher or welsher.
In WWII, the Germans referred to enemy fighter planes as “Indianer” - Indians.
Hun
Apache (especially as used in France).
Gypsy
Pygmy
I presume the OP is looking for words, originally names for ethnic groups, that are now used to describe types of people outside these groups. What group is called goyim besides goyim? (“Gentile” I’ll grant you.)
Bohemian, perhaps?
If that is what he is looking for, it doesnt fit very well. "I’m looking for more words to describe people that come from ethnic/religious groups. " is kinda vague and based upon the literal meaning, Goyim fits. Goy just meant “nation” originally, and the connotation has changed to mean “non-Jew”.
Berserk is derived from the Viking berserker warriors
Myrmidon, from the warriors led by Achilles at Troy
Nomad
Turk, in the sense of young Turk, or the derogatory sense of someone who is fierce or brutal
Hun?
It’s not exactly explicit in the OP, but that’s what all the examples are. Otherwise French, German, Japanese, etc would also fit. I presume he’s looking for something more specific.
Wild Feejee, for anyone who’s acting wild.
That’s a good one.
Also, spartan.
Sybarite
Puritan
Arab, in the sense of street Arab
Lesbian, from the island of Lesbos, home of the poet Sappho (see also “sapphic”).
