The racial slur of the day is Cricket.
It is used to refer to Blacks.
Deep lore: Color of skin vs. cricket's color (brown/black). Pure blooded Blacks having "large fish eyes, dark brown skin, and long legs like a cricket." Could also refer to Blacks that stay up all night playing loud thumping music, real common in the industrial Midwest.
The racial slur of the day is Honky/Honkie.
It is used to refer to Whites.
Deep lore: 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.
The racial slur of the day is Coon.
It is used to refer to Blacks.
Deep lore: 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.
