Although many Cajuns use the word in regard to themselves, other Cajuns view the term as an ethnic slur against the Cajun people, especially when used by non-Cajuns.

Socioeconomic factors appear to influence how Cajuns are likely to view the term: working-class Cajuns tend to regard the word "coonass" as a badge of ethnic pride, whereas middle- and upper-class Cajuns are more likely to regard the term as insulting or degrading


Nope

Oh, I was watching Boy Meets World earlier, and the term "wop" got used. I thought we might have watched the same thing

The term "RA'd" is similar to calling a black person the "N word." Please show a little class or I will be requesting an administrator

If you are comparing the badness of two words and you won't even say one of them, that's the worse word.

We actually don't even have the ability to say the N word, or the F derogatory word either. Still, that's pretty solid evidence that those two are among the worst (if not the worst) derogatory terms
