just my two cents Jigsaw Jimmy 02:05, 13 June 2006 (UTC) Theres a lot of slurs here about gays and lesbians, but its not ethnic. My Alt Account 11:32, 5 September 2006 (UTC) CappaĬan Cappa be added from the Australian term for a South African with Cappa refering to cape town. Unless it was used outside of the community of Western New York skateboarders, it's probably not notable or verifiable enough to warrant an entry. Native American skateboarders from Western New York? This sounds like it might be far too obscure for inclusion. Perry used to be used as a ethnic slur towards Native American skateboarders around the 1970's in Western New York because of being from the Perry Projects Southside (posh) dubliners use it to refer to Dubarry shoes. Local Dubliners use it as short for Dubliner. Mike33 01:20, 11 August 2006 (UTC) ĭerogatory term used by people outside of Dublin Ireland to refer to Dubliners, standing for Dumb Ugly Bollick' s or Dumb Ugly Bastard' s. but please define ethnicity, in a manner that is used in the real world, not just in this list. Please do clean up, I am only happy to help and source. Not make it some made zone where you can descibe people 3 streets away as being an ethnicity. I nominated in in an attempt for editors to get into action and think properly about what the list is about. Not hearing of something before is, certainly being BOLD when editing, but sometimes a citation flag will do. However, with an opening paragraph that redefines the complete nature of ethnicity or sloppy editing, how can you purge knowing you have done the right thing?Īnother example - before Purging the T listings Gazpacho deleted a quite common derogatory name for jews in the UK (Three by Two, its Cockney rymning slang for Jew]] on the grounds that he had never heard of it before. For example, Gazpacho made a few deletions under T (why pic on T to start the ball rolling?) after the Afd contributors said it needs a good clean.

Please formulate a new criteria, and then begin to purge subjects and definitions that do not meet them. I nominated the list for Afd on the grounds that the article is a mis-match for any kind of nonsense people (ok, lets say editors) can think of based on this Broad view of ethnicity. Directing Ethnicity to Ethnic groups (a socio-anthropological term) just whacks out every single category you place after it. I suggest a BIG re-write of the opening paragraph. Many of the Slurs in this article concern Class or Political Affiliation.

The UK Census office on their site descibes the problem:ĭefinitions of what constitutes an 'ethnic group' or an 'ethnic minority' are subject to much discussion.
