Racial Term that needs clarification..

I want to apologize in advance to any members that might be offended. I truely do not know the term of the word: Kaffir (sp?).

I was driving in a car with a buddy who said it was a derogatory term towards minorities. When pressed, he wouldn’t tell me. Being asian, I’ve never heard this term in reference to me before and I’ve heard everyone in the book.

Any insights?

bah, mods delete this please as I’ve found the wonderful world of “Search”.
