We Use Them Everyday

We Use Them Everyday

 Don’t mistake me that I've ever said you a racist because you using these words. My intention is to identify and indicate those words and that how we’ve been unconsciously using these racial slurs everyday (probably entire life) without knowing them etymologically and how these are racially based.

For these purpose I’ve Googled quite a number a sites and below is the summary of what I’ve found:

1.  Hooligans
How it's used: "I was nearly killed on my drive home by a group of hooligans playing paintball on the interstate."
What you’re actually saying: "I was nearly killed on my drive home by a group of dirty Irish drunkards playing paintball on the interstate."

2. Vandals
 How it's used: "Some vandals tagged the wall behind the local high school."
What You're Actually Saying: "A horde of dirty godless Germans tagged the wall behind the local high school."

3.  Hip Hip Hooray!
How it's Used: "We won the little league game! Hip hip hooray!"
What You're Actually Saying: "We won the little league game! Let's go kill some Jews!"

4. Barbarian
How it's used: "In World of WarCraft, I play a level 60 barbarian."
What You're Actually Saying: "In World of WarCraft, I play a stupid jabbering foreigner."

5. Bugger
How it's used: "The dog peed on my leg again, that little bugger!"
What you’re actually Saying: "The dog peed on my leg again, that little Bulgarian homosexual!"

6. Cannibal
How it's used: "I don't care whether or not the other person consented, all cannibals should be sent to prison. It's disgusting."
What you’re actually saying: "I don't care whether or not the other person consented; all people from the West Indies should be sent to prison. It's disgusting."

7. Gyp
How it's used: "Man, five dollars for a candy bar? What a gyp!"
What you’re actually saying: "Man, five dollars for a candy bar? You're a filthy Eastern European immigrant."

 
 8. Picnic
How it's used: "Wow, look at that! The sun's shining, the bluebirds are singing ... why, I think it's a lovely day for a picnic!"
What you’re actually saying: "Wow, look at that! The sun's shining, the bluebirds are singing ... why, I think it's a lovely day to lynch a black person!"
