"White supremacist slang". Because of course it's racist if we have our own mirror equivalent of 'anti-semitism'. LOL

I called it slang. The root origin is not a standard derivative. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems more than a little pejorative. I'm not saying we shouldn't have slang or pejoratives, but I aim to be clear about the terminology - even more clear than Wiktionary (who have censored me for doing so on other terms).

That's why I posted it - to give people a vocabulary to utilize.

I should have changed "supremacist", but I didn't know how to best modify it.

Oh I didn't mean to critique your title, more the Wiktionary article labelling it a "white supremacist" word.

Feel free to share how you might have improved it if you care to. I'm always open to learning stuff, and of course readers might too. I just couldn't think of a better way to put it in under 300 characters. When in doubt I just leave it and let readers sort it out.
