Chuco	Mexicans	Laredo Used to describe gang bangers. Comes from the word Pachuco
Coon	Blacks	Probably refers to the Portuguese word for slave pens or barracks "baracoons". Could also have meaning as a shortening of "raccoon", as raccoons have a tendency to steal. Possibly from Dr. Carleton Coon, who, in the mid-1960's, theorized that blacks were less evolved than whites.
Coonass	Cajuns	The origin of the term is said to have come from the French word "conasse". During the Second World War, many Cajun men served in the armed forces. When in France, many of the French heard the Cajuns speaking in a French that was both very old and in a French that had some very odd words. The Frenchmen called the Cajuns "conasse" which translates to a very low-grade prostitute. I would think this comes from the fact that, although they spoke a form of French, the Cajuns weren't real Frenchmen. Another theory has it originating in South Louisiana, derived from the belief that Cajuns frequently ate raccoons.
Cygan	Gypsy	Polish word for Gypsy, used officially, but Gypsies prefer to be called Roma. Cygan is becoming unacceptable in the Polish language.
Ddang Kong	Vietnamese	Term used by Koreans to describe Vietnamese. Literally means "peanut". Reasons for this word: 1) it may be because the word sounds very much like the language. 2) because they are short, and Koerans have a tendency to call short people ddang kong (peanuts).

The Goomba is also the weakest enemy in Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. video game series.

Almost exclusively used as a derogatory word for whites after the U.S. armed takeover of the Hawaiian Monarchy.
Hawaga/Khawaga	Whites	Originally a Persian word for "Lord". Heard in Egypt. Accent on second syllable.
Honky/Honkie	Whites	Possibly comes from the term "Honky Tonk", which is a type of country music. Another interesting theory suggests it originated as "Hunky" (and "Bohunk") to refer to Slavic and Hungarian immigrants and eventually transformed into "Honkey" to refer to all White people. Might also come from the African Wolof word "Honq" meaning red or pink and used to describe white men. Yet another theory has it originating from white men honking their horns to call on the lounge singer/prostitute types in 1920's Harlem.

Injun	Native Americans	Pioneer-related term dates back to the 19th century during the Western Expansion. Probably comes from country people who could not pronounce the word Indian correctly.
Ivory	Whites	This is kind of an interesting term, because "Ebony" is considered a very good word and used by Blacks to reference themselves (some even name their children "Ebony"). However, you'll probably never see a White person naming their kid "Ivory", and a magazine named "Ivory" solely concerning White fashion, beauty, and Superstars will never be made.
Jabonee	Italians	What American-born Italians call immigrant Italians, as in "He/she is a real Jabonee right off the boat. Can't even speak English." Possibly a real Italian word bastardized by English-speaking Italian-Americans.

The word may also be spelled "kak" or any other way you like, since Thais use a different "alphabet." However, "kaek" is pronounced to rhyme with "crack."
Kaffer/ir	Blacks	Afrikaaner word for blacks, very derogatory. Made popular by Lethal Weapon 2.
Kafir	Africans	Referring to Black Africans. Kafir is an Arabic word with meanings similar to Goy or Goyim of the Jews, only describing any non-Muslim person in a derogatory way. S. African Kaffir possibly imported during the Boer War by British soldiers who had fought in the Sudanese campaign. It just means those who are not in whatever religion the Arabic speaker adheres to (Christianity or Islam). It can be negative if someone uses a negative, derogatory tone of voice, but the word itself isn't "bad" used that way.
Kala	Blacks	Indian word for the color black. Used by Indians as a slur for black people.
Kanaka	Hawaiians	A Hawaiian word meaning simply "person." Whites and Asians began to use it in a disparaging way and for most of the 19th and 20th century it was equivalent to "nigger." In recent times, Hawaiians have made great efforts to "reclaim" the word from its negative associations and often describe themselves as "kanaka maoli" or "native people." That said, non-Hawaiian natives should still excercise great care when attempting to use the term.
Katsap	Russians	Etymology of the word comes from a tradition of Russian males, before Peter the Great, to uniformally wear a goatee. So it is a bastardaized pronounciation of "kak tzap", like a goat, in Ukranian.
