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!"

8. Picnic
