darkie(s) Explanation: There are other, worse terms obviously but I think this one strikes the right note for pretty much anyone with darker than white skin. |

camel jockey/turban head Explanation: A little looking says your term refers to Middle Eastern/northern African folks derogartorily -- https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/blatte This suggestion came into fashion after I moved here, and is still used. As in "f**in camel jockeys" from definition 2 here -- https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Camel Jockey Then if you want to sound nastier you'd use 'towel heads' or 'rag heads.' These generally (technically??) refer to 'Arabs' or Middle Easterners.including Pakistanis. Racists in the US are pretty specific about origin, with a variety of other nasty terms for Latin Americans (and everyone else for that matter -- from Irish, to German, Italians and Greeks to name only a few), so these wouldn't be considered together. I was once called a 'PR' for having been born in Venezuela... and was provided the definition "PR applies to everyone south of Texas," when I objected to the geographical inaccuracy since PR refers to Puerto Ricans. But 'spics' certainly applies to Latinos in a highly derogatory way.... Now you got me started but this'll give you some ideas. |
