WHAT DOES SHEENY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

List of ethnic slurs

The following is a list of ethnic slurs that are, or have been, used as insinuations or allegations about members of a given ethnicity or to refer to them in a derogatory, pejorative, or insulting manner in the English-speaking world. For the purposes of this list, an ethnic slur is a term designed to insult others on the basis of race, ethnicity, or nationality. Each term is listed followed by its country or region of usage, a definition, and a reference to that term. However the complexity of the issue of the listing and usage of such terms needs to be noted. For instance, many of the terms listed below are used by large numbers of human beings in many parts of the world as part of their ordinary speech or thinking without any intention of causing offence, and with little or no evidence that such usage does in fact cause much or indeed any offence, while the implicit or explicit labeling of such large numbers of people as racists, simply because they use some words on the list below, can itself be deeply unfair and insensitive and can thus cause deep offence.
