<div>Subject Arabic ethnic slurs query</div>
<div><br>
<font face="Verdana">Does anyone know of a collection of racial/ethnic
slurs in any dialect of Arabic? The closest I can come is
"9ajamii" for "Persian."</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">The other instances seem to revolve around
using ethnic terms a little more broadly, e.g. 'haadha turkii' to
refer to refer to a nonsensical comment, or "nawar" to mean
something akin to "white trash."</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">Any input from closet (or out)
maledictorians?</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">TIA,</font></div>
