Submissions & Corrections

This database collects only slurs denoting race, ethnicity, religion or country of origin. No slurs related
to gender or sexuality will be accepted. Please make sure that your submission meets our requirements.

All submissions are verified and edited by a dedicated team of volunteers. Feel free to include citations,
URLs, notes to the staff or any other information that may be pertinent to your submission.
