Is the first one 'South Mexican'?
Then we've got 'Crumbly Chinese'
'Fucking homosexuals' (nice)
'No African' (rude)
'Clever Woman'
'Kill Jewish? Kippah Jewish? Kangaroo Jewish?'
And obviously, the 'Jolly Japanese'
Spic Chink Fag Cunt Kyke Jap
I haven't heard anyone use "Jap" outside my grandfather's generation — and he fought a fucking war against them so no surprise he had some big feels there. But he's also been dead about 25 years and I've never heard the word since.
But also I don't hang out with racists, so what do I know.
I once met a Chinese girl who was somewhat suspiciously fond of the English slang term (that I hadn't heard of) "Jap's Eye" which apparently means "urethral opening" and tbf I would never use the latter term either...
OTOH I had heard the term from time to time and it always came across to me (not Japanese - important caveat) as a pretty mild one, like "frog" for the French. I would be very unsurprised if it were different in the USA though, where there was such a big impact from WW2 and internment.
How have I lived with a Jewish family all my life and never heard 'Kyke', yet I was well aware of 'Faggot' after only knowing about gay people for much less time?
Humans are a mysterious race.
“F….., f….., f….., we can say it together — but only if you let a white girl say n…..”
Honestly most of these are out of fashion anyway
