Add "Savages" under Native Americans for racial slurs 2604:2D80:E410:5A00:69D3:A0EC:E8E2:C1A3 (talk) 22:41, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

"Yid" is unambiguously (hugely) pejorative

This page describes the term "yid" for a Jewish person as offensive or neutral. The footnoted source correctly describes the term as highly pejorative. This term in English is unambiguously racist. It is as offensive as the "N-word". It is never used in any other sense or with any other nuance than a purely hostile, derogatory and pre-violent meaning. 81.99.219.30 (talk) 23:06, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

Land thief warrants removal from the list, as there is nothing ethnic nor offensive about the phrase. It is an accurate description of the oppressor class of the South African Apartheid State. It is no more offensive than calling the sky blue. Choosing to be offended by this simple historical descriptor denies the stark history of colonialism in Africa.

Semi-protected edit request on 12 November 2023

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at List of ethnic slurs and epithets by ethnicity. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

To the definition "Sand Nigger", the synonym "Dune Coon" should be added.

To the Eastern Asian section, please add-

Zipper Head- Refers to war crimes committed during the Korean and Vietnam wars. Theories on the origin of the term include: refers to how East Asian soldiers would appear with tank tracks over their bodies after having been run over by military vehicles or tanks. Or refers to if an East Asian person were shot in the forehead with a machine gun, the head would split as if being unzipped.
