Subject Arabic ethnic slurs query

Does anyone know of a collection of racial/ethnic slurs in any
dialect of Arabic? The closest I can come is "9ajamii" for "Persian."

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."

Any input from closet (or out) maledictorians?

TIA,

Dan.
