{{wiktionary|slur|epithet}}

The following is a '''list of ethnic slurs''', '''ethnophaulisms''', or '''ethnic epithets''' that are, or have been, used as [[insinuation]]s or [[allegation]]s about members of a given [[Ethnic group|ethnic]], [[Nationality|national]], or [[racial group]] or to refer to them in a derogatory, [[pejorative]], or otherwise [[insult]]ing manner.

Some of the terms listed below can be used in casual speech without any intention of causing offense. Others can be considered so offensive that they can be reasonably expected to be met with violence by those they are directed at. The [[connotation]] of a term and prevalence of its use as a pejorative or neutral descriptor varies over time and by geography.

For the purposes of this list, an ''ethnic slur'' is a term designed to insult others on the basis of [[racism|race]], [[ethnicity]], or [[nationality]]. Each term is listed followed by its country or region of usage, a definition, and a reference to that term.

Ethnic slurs may also be produced as a racial [[epithet]] by combining a general-purpose insult with the name of ethnicity. Common insulting modifiers include "dog", "pig", "dirty" and "filthy"; such terms are not included in this list.

|[[Banderite]]
|Poland
|Ukrainians
|The term ''Banderite'' was originally used to refer to the [[OUN-B|ultra-nationalist wing of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists]], in reference to its leader [[Stepan Bandera]].  In Poland, the term "banderowiec" is used in connection with the [[Massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia|massacres of Poles in Volhynia by the UPA]]. The term became a crucial element of Soviet propaganda and was used as a pejorative description of Ukrainian nationalists, or sometimes western Ukrainians or Ukrainian-speakers. Today the term is used in Russian propaganda to associate Ukrainian identity with Nazism.

|Boong / Boang / Bong / Bung
|Australia
|[[Aboriginal Australians]]
|[First used in 1847 by JD Lang, ''Cooksland'', 430]. Boong, pronounced with [[near-close near-back rounded vowel|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]". The 1988 edition of the  ''[[Australian National Dictionary]]'' gives its origin in the Wemba word for "man" or "human being". However, [[Frederick Ludowyk]] of the [[Australian National Dictionary Centre]] wrote in 2004 that ''bong'' meaning "dead" is not a [[Wiradjuri language|Wiradjuri]] word, but may have been picked up or assumed from the word "bung" which was originally a [[Turrbal language|Yagara word]] which was used in the [[pidgin]] widely spoken across Australia in colonial times.

|[[Goombah]]
|United States
|Italian people, Italian-Americans
|Initially applied to Italian or Italian-American men in general, it now also specifically carries connotations of stereotypical vulgar machismo and [[Italian Mafia]] or [[Italian-American Mafia]] involvement among ethnic Italians and Italian-Americans. However, "goombah" is also used among Italian-Americans themselves to refer to a friend or comrade; the word becomes pejorative mostly when used by a non-Italian to refer to an ethnic Italian or Italian-American in a derogatory or patronizing way rather than as a friendly term of address among Italian-Americans. Originates from the [[Southern Italy|Southern Italian]] word ''cumpa'' or ''cumpari'' and the [[Standard Italian]] equivalent, ''compare'', meaning "godfather" or "partner-in-crime".

|Jock, jocky, jockie
|United Kingdom
|Scottish people
|[[Scots language]] nickname for the personal name John, cognate to the English, Jack. Occasionally used as an insult, but also in a respectful reference when discussing Scottish troops, particularly those from Highland regiments. For example, see the [[9th (Scottish) Division]]. Same vein as the English insult for the French, as [[Frog (pejorative)|Frogs]]. In [[Ian Rankin]]'s detective novel ''[[Tooth and Nail (novel)|Tooth and Nail]]'' the protagonist – a Scottish detective loaned to the London police – suffers from prejudice by English colleagues who frequently use "Jock" and "Jockland" (Scotland) as terms of insult; the book was based on the author's own experience as a Scot living in London.

|[[Muslims]], usually of [[Arabian]],[[Turkic peoples|Turkic]] or [[Iranian peoples|Iranian]] descent.
|Its origin is a [[Serbia Strong|Serbian music video]] that was recorded in 1993 during the Yugoslav Wars but the phrase has spread globally amongst far-right groups and the alt-right as a meme between 2006 and 2008. Famously Turkish internet users parodied the sentiment of Serbian nationalists online, with a satirical incoherent rant that ended with the phrase "remove kebab" being repeated.

|From the [[Spanish language|Spanish]] and [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]] word ''[[wikt:Negro|negro]]'' ("[[black]]"), derived from the [[Latin]] ''niger''. The Spanish or Portuguese term, or other such languages deriving the term from it such as [[Filipino language|Filipino]], may vary in its [[connotation]] per country, where some countries, the connotation may range from either positive, neutral, or negative, depending on context. For example, in Spanish and Portuguese, "negro" may simply refer to the color [[black]]. Among [[Spanish dialects and varieties|Spanish dialects]] in different countries, it may have either positive or negative connotations, such as describing someone similarly to my [[wikt:darling|darling]] or my [[wikt:honey|honey]] in [[Argentina]], or describing someone to be [[wikt:angry|angry]] in [[Spain]]. In Portuguese, the term "negro" is often preferred to the more offensive ''preto''; however, due to the influence of US-American pop culture, the "[[Nigga|n-word]]" can be found in the language as an [[anglicism]], with identical connotations as the English term.

|Indonesia
|Indonesians of foreign descent, especially [[Chinese Indonesians]]
|The term pribumi was coined after Indonesian independence to replace the derogatory Dutch term ''Inlander'' ("native"). "Non-pribumi," often simply "non-pri," was then used to refer to Indonesians of foreign descent and was generally considered to suggest that they were not full citizens. Use of both "pribumi" and "non-pribumi" by government departments was banned by President [[B.J. Habibie]] in 1998 according to Inpres (''Instruksi Presiden'', lit. Presidential Instruction) No. 26 of 1998, along with instruction to stop discrimination by race in government.

|Nusayri
|Syria and the [[Levant]]
|Members of the [[Alawite]] sect of [[Shi'a Islam]].
|Once a common and neutral term derived from the name of [[Ibn Nusayr]], the sect's founder, it fell out of favour within the community in the early decades of the 20th century due to the perception that it implied a heretical separateness from mainstream [[Islam]]. Resurgent in the context of the ongoing [[Syrian civil war]], the term is now often employed by Sunni fundamentalist enemies of the government of [[Bashar al-Assad]], an Alawite, to suggest that the faith is a human invention lacking divine legitimacy.

|A [[Te Reo Māori]] term for New Zealanders with no Polynesian ancestry. The origins of the word is unknown, but there are two common interpretations, "light skin" and "pale, imaginary beings resembling men". It is likely pre-colonial Māori believed Europeans were mythical beings from [[Māori mythology]]. The word Pākehā is now commonly used as a word interchangeable with 'white' or 'European'. Language experts and government departments alike do not believe the word has derogatory origins, but some New Zealanders of European decent consider it a derogatory term.

|[[Remove Kebab]]
|
|[[Muslims]], usually of [[Arabian]] or [[Turkic peoples|Turkic]] descent.
|Its origin is a [[Serbia Strong|Serbian music video]] that was recorded in 1993 during the Yugoslav Wars but the phrase has spread globally amongst far-right groups and the alt-right as a meme between 2006 and 2008. Famously Turkish internet users parodied the sentiment of Serbian nationalists online, with a satirical incoherent rant that ended with the phrase "remove kebab" being repeated. Although the meme initially intended to parody racism, this meaning behind the meme was lost once it became common in alt-right discourse.

|[[Taffy was a Welshman|Taffy]] or Taff

Known since at least the 17th century when life-sized effigies of Welshmen were symbolically lynched in London, and the 18th-century custom of baking "taffies", [[gingerbread]] figures made in the shape of a skewered Welshman.

|Often refers specifically to Sikhs, or Arabs and Muslims—based on the traditional [[keffiyeh]] headdress. However, in British English, the term is only used to refer to Arabs. Americans use the term 'rag-head' to apply to wearers of turbans as well, because the cloth that makes a turban could be described as a rag, but in British English the term towel-head solely refers to Arabs because the traditional, Middle Eastern [[keffiyeh]], such as the red and white Saudi one or the black and white [[Palestinian keffiyeh]] worn by Yasser Arrafat, resemble the most common styles of British tea-towels – dishcloth in American – while Sikh turbans do not.

|Meaning "Turk" in Portuguese and Spanish. The term originated in the late 19th century to refer those who came to Brazil, Argentina and Chile from the [[Ottoman Empire]]. Since Jews (both [[Sephardic]] and [[Ashkenazi]]) frequently occupied the same roles as [[peddler]]s as Syrians and Lebanese (who were the majority of those with Ottoman passports in Brazil), they were also called "turcos" in Brazil. Ironically, there was no relevant immigration of ethnic [[Turkish people|Turks]] to Brazil.

|Turk

|[[Llanelli]] residents
|The origin of this term is uncertain; some theories suggest it due to Llanelli's popularity with Turkish sailors in the late 19th to early 20th century or possibly when Turkish migrants heading for the United States stopped in Llanelli and decided to settle due to there being jobs available. However, most likely it's due to the fact that during World War One there was a trade embargo in place during Gallipoli, but Llanelli continued to trade tin with the Turkish; this led to people from neighbouring [[Swansea]] and other surrounding areas referring to them as Turks.

|[[Yid]]
|

|Derived from its use as an endonym among Yiddish-speaking Jews. In the United Kingdom, "yid" is also used to refer to supporters of the [[Tottenham Hotspur]] football club, whose fans refer to themselves and players as "yids" (or the derivative form "yiddo"), regardless of whether or not they are Jewish, as part of a reclamation attempt centered around the club's significant historic Jewish following. The latter sense is common and well-established enough to be found under the word's [[Oxford English Dictionary]] entry, though its use has become controversial and a matter of debate in the 21st century, with opinions from both Jews and non-Jews, Tottenham fans and non-fans, running the gamut.

|[[Zhyd]], zhid, zhydovka, zhidovka
|[[East Slavic languages|East Slavic language]] speakers
|Jewish people
|Originally neutral (as in other Slavic languages), but became pejorative as debate over the [[Jewish question]] and the [[antisemitism in the Russian Empire]] intensified in the end of the 19th century. While still in official use during the [[Ukrainian War of Independence]] and the short-lived [[Belarusian Democratic Republic]], its use was banned by the Soviet authorities, which had previously been campaigning against its usage, in the 1930s. The usage of the word "[[wikt:pl:żyd|żyd]]" in Polish depends on capitalisation and grammatical form: upper-case [[wikt:pl:Żyd|Żyd]] is neutral and denotes [[Jews]] in general or Jews as a nationality; the lower-case form (żyd, plural: żydzi) denotes a follower of [[Judaism]]; both are neutral. Related terms are considered offensive: alternative plural "żydy" or diminutive "żydek" (plural: żydki).
