Ethnic Slurs. insults a-la-carte.

Courtesy of Wikipedia: a handy list of ethnic slurs.

The following is a list of ethnic slurs that are, or have been, used to refer to members of a given ethnicity (or in some cases, nationality, region or religion) in a derogatory or pejorative manner. The term is listed, followed by its primary user(s) and a definition.

Warning: Some of these are really offensive.

A few examples that are new to me:

• Babaloo - (North America) a Cuban American - after the nightclub and phrase associated with Ricky Ricardo (Desi Arnaz)
• Hamburger Heifer - (U.S.) term for an obese young woman from the Midwest - pun on the budget food product Hamburger Helper and Heifer (a young cow)
• Mackerel snapper - (Protestant North American) a Roman Catholic (reference to fish on Fridays)
• Porch Honky - (U.S.) lazy white person
• Urkel - (U.S.) a black man that acts like a geek, from Steve Urkel, a major character on the TV show Family Matters
