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.
