no need to lock this.

its the only place i can get serious replies.

i want to know if you people thinks its a racial slur.

10/4/2005 1:02:24 AM

Fucking of course it is. How could it possibly not be? How is this even a topic?

10/4/2005 1:03:10 AM

no, it's not. it accurately describes people living from north africa, to the middle east, to india.

10/4/2005 1:14:59 AM

so are people suppose to get offended by it?

10/4/2005 1:17:55 AM

anything that you wouldn't say to anyone's face could probably construed as racist or at least inappropriate

well i dont even say sand nigger, not because i think its racist, but because i just dont see the joke behind it.
i mean, i am middle eastern and all, people call me sand nigger, some are serious, others joking. but i really dont know how to find if offensive

10/4/2005 1:35:07 AM

sand nigger is not racist!!! Its COUNTRYist, referring to a country completely built from sand mud and logs, and discriminating by country is fucking great! There are large differences between countries.

10/4/2005 1:38:26 AM

Except that it is applied almost exclusively to Arabs as a race, not to any particular nationality or group of nationalities.

10/4/2005 1:42:25 AM

ok its racist, but only in the non-sand definition

10/4/2005 1:43:24 AM

haha

hell i think its funny.

and people get pissed when i say nigger

if they call me a sand nigger, why do they get mad when i just say nigger?

10/4/2005 1:44:28 AM

because most people are stupid

they think the word intercourse is ok but fuck is not, even though they mean the exact same thing

10/4/2005 1:52:37 AM

I don't mind when someone calls me a cracker, because they almost never know where the term comes from.

10/4/2005 2:00:31 AM

is cracker a derivative of crackerasscracker?

10/4/2005 2:01:12 AM

hint: kunta kentay

10/4/2005 2:47:24 AM

i hate being called this, but only because i'm not one

i'm a light skinned dothead thats sometimes mistook for one of these

10/4/2005 10:14:40 AM

I only wish there was a euphemism for caucasians that was nearly as good as sand nigger. I'd use it all the time.

I prefer dune coon as the racial slur of choice for this group.

Cracker refers to white slave masters who would "crack" their whips at slaves in order to keep them working in the fields.

10/4/2005 12:34:22 PM

Towelhead...fig gobbler....beekeeper...clit-chopper....Camel fucker...rug-squatter...sand monkey....slurpee nigger.....any of these offend you?

[Edited on October 4, 2005 at 12:40 PM. Reason : better]

cracker = whipcracker

are you really this ignorant? I dont know you from Joe Blow on tdub, but seriously

Like Scuba Steve said, if you have to ask, then more than likely many will find it offensive

I mean, i don't know how to logically answer this question cause my brain won't let me compute that a question like this is actually being asked by an adult, seemingly college-educated, human

Gringo
Cocksauce

im sure the average white person would look confused if you called him a triscuit or casper, then laugh at you if you called him a goober. and would probably say WTF mate to cocksauce.

gringo and honky maybe

10/4/2005 3:28:32 PM

i thought a goober was a peanut

10/4/2005 3:29:47 PM

cocksauce? maple syrup is not even close to white.

10/4/2005 7:42:09 PM

people call me savage sometimes because im serb. i think of it as a compliment....when im in the mood.

...and as chris rock says, there is a difference between niggers and black people, so i guess same goes for sand niggers and arabs in general. question is who calls you sand nigger? blacks or whites?

cracker has always just made me laugh, but I might use honky a bit from now on.

saltine: premium cracker

10/4/2005 9:23:22 PM

my boss back at applebees was called a cracker by a raving mad black female to which she responded, "Oh yeah!? What kind am I? Soda or salteen!?!?" One of the funniest exchanges I've witnessed.

10/4/2005 9:23:43 PM

Firstly, would people in out west in mexico and at the beach be considered a "sand nigger" or more importantly a "dune coon" parce que the latter has nothing to do with color. Secondly, then I think I saw a lot of these "dune coons" when i went to the nags head last summer.
Thanks for your time

i'm actually a bit curious as the etymology of the word "Sand Nigger." I mean, really. whats the connection?

10/5/2005 12:20:42 PM

they're black and live in the sand

duh

10/5/2005 2:53:33 PM

theyre darker skinned and live in sand

aka racist redneck dumbfucks arent that clever to come up with a more creative name

10/5/2005 2:57:29 PM

yes its much better to have a name that says nothing about them

10/5/2005 3:02:25 PM

hmm

10/5/2005 3:04:16 PM

nobody claimed racism or specism when we called those orange fruits oranges
