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.

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.

Terrone

I was reading the article and noticed that it states that the etymology of terrone (slur used against southern italians) is uncertain. Since the article is protected I wanted to add some details about this word: it comes from italian “terra” which means dirt, it is used by northern italians to underline even more how poor are the southerners. So that’s all that I know, if I get more information I’ll write it. 176.32.16.187 (talk) 20:32, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
