Slashdot Mirror

At one point or another, every one of us have said something racist without realizing it: http://www.rsdb.org/

So to make this work, should sites just ban us all eventually?

At one point or another, every law has punished an innocent person. So to make this work, should all laws be repealed?

But I don't blame any other ethnic group, just politicians.

Irish slurs

'Frog' was coined by the Brits.

Also: http://www.rsdb.org/

Missing a lot.

Dutch: missing 'Swamp German'

SF Bay area citizen: no entry, missing 'Bay Aryan'.

Disappointing Belgian entry. Half from Monty Python.

You know, I live in the deep South and I've never once in my 53 years heard that term used that way until just now.

Seems to go back at least to 1996 when it was used in the (excellent) Kiefer Sutherland movie "Freeway."
