Been seeing a lot Fleetwood Mac stanning lately on tumblr and I just want to remind you that they have a song called G*psy you know the word that is an ethnic slur for Romani people.
Also Stevie Nicks is the songwriter for that song.
I just thought that should be pointed out.
While many are focused on President Biden’s debate performance, Dean Obeidallah says it was former President Trump’s statements during the event that gave offense
Out of curiosity, what should we do if referring to someone named G*psy? I know it's a slur and the word shouldn't be used by those who aren't Romani, but do we still avoid saying it if it's someone's name?
Genuinely asking
hungarians what do you think should we reclaim the word bozgor?
yeah
nah
hey! long time reader here. i just wanted to let you know that i’m Ch. 14 of Paint Our Bodies and Chase the Sky, you use “g**k” as a word to describe a goopy substance. not sure if you’re aware of this, but that word is an ethnic slur for Korean people. i know that’s not the context, but still, i personally was a bit taken aback when i was rereading it recently (guess i didn’t notice the first time). food for thought!
Thank you so much for the heads up -- I actually had no idea about that slur! You're right that it's in a totally different context, but still, plenty of other good words to use, and no point in potentially jarring people for no reason. Just made the change!
maybe dont post racial slurs for Romani people on your blog. jfc world war 2 was not that fucking long ago... those people were and are persecuted daily. murdered for being themselves. not something to take lightly
@soxie-acetylene when on earth did I post Romani slurs? My good friend @ice-nix is a Romani man and he's the one who taught me that g*psy (which I'm assuming is what you're referring to) actually IS a slur.
Like most Americans, I grew up unaware that that word referred to a group of people rather than a lifestyle. I ain't perfect so it's possible that I used it somewhere on my blog after I learned better, but it's highly unlikely. If I did, point it out to me so I can fix it, not give me a rant about world war two.
If I had been unaware that word is a slur, this would not have been the way to educate me and I stand by my complete bewilderment of when I might have ever used Romani slurs.
Clans: Deliengea
KEEP IN MIND that nothing is cemented and that the information is constantly being updated and developed.
CLANS:
Navajo skin-walkers: Humanoid creatures that can shift into their specific craiceann (creature). This is dependent on their parents’ genetics, and can either be a mixture of both parents or inherit one from a single parent. Mutations can happen, and this leads to newer, and creepier, shifters. They were once thought of savages and animalistic, but as they became more integrated into civilization, they became more docile and pleasant.
There are no distinguishable features between them and humans, except for longer life spans and their base stats (such as speed, stamina, strength, endurance) are higher than that of the average human. Prefer to live in communities and in small rural areas of cities. Usually go into mercenary or entertainment. Most enjoy the ‘city life’.
Families are like normal human families, with two parent’s that bond (not permanent) and a handful of offspring (2-3 children).
Official Language: Gaelic (Scottish Gaelic)
Ethnic slurs: Bosche (hard headed), Dal Khor (dal eater “vegetable eater”).
Their creator: Dia
Woodland Elves: They are the tallest clan and, through careful selection, are made up of literal hulking giants. Compared against a human, they stand at approximately 6’5 to 7 feet (with average human height being 5’5 feet). They are greyish blue in complexion, and they older they are, the bluer their skin becomes. Humanoid but not all natural looking. Most have white hair, pointy ears, and abnormally coloured eyes.
They aren’t naturally aggressive and so humans were more welcoming of them (not that they cared). However, they are brutal and vicious fighters so it wouldn’t be wise to war against them, especially since they are way larger and stronger than the other clans. They live in one big community in the ______ forest, separated from other clans. The most common practice is alchemy, astrology and demonology. The second largest being military service.
Family units are large, group ‘homes’ with up to 3 parents and average of 6-7 offspring. The way life works is that the entire community raises the children, and all are ‘related’. But most usually closer to their blood sister and brothers and the caretakers that played the biggest part in their upbringing. Occupations and practices are decided by parental linage.
Official language: Sindarin (Welsh)
Ethnic slurs: Knife ear, Churka.
Their creator: Duw
Ancient Woodland Elves: Are thinner, taller and their skin is bluer in appearance, prefering the damp cave systems of the mountains in Elae Minis forest. Are usually assigned in positions of high power and are grand standing. They have a different tongue because, throughout the years, the language slowly started dying as a new, simplified, version started spreading until it became more common to speak Sindarin rather than the ancient tongue.
Quenya, however, is still used in alchemy and demonology, so those going into such practises have to relearn the ancient tongue in order to study in those fields.
Official Language: Quenya (Irish)
Ethnic slurs: Knife ear, Churka.
Nalves: The product of cross breeding between clans. They have their own clan since they were banished from the human communities, and no other clans anted to take them in since they were of mixed blood. Are trafficked and used as slaves because they are seen to be the most inferior ‘clan’. They prefer to live in solitude or with family/relatives. Made mostly of mages.
Things have calmed down though, and interclan relations are becoming more acceptable. There are certain places, however, that still trade them as slaves and treat them as inferior.
Family dynamics are dependent on linage.
Official Language: Gaelic/Sindarin
Ethnic slurs: Half breed, Hybrid, Abeed (a word for slave as they most often get trafficked and sold on the black market), Boong (dysfunctional), Chi Chi (a mixed race person)
Desert Dwellers: Similar to humans. They have dark complexions and are often covered in sun markings (white ink patterns that stain their skin) and are seen to just wander aimlessly around the Dario Desert. They live in small communities scattered around the Desert and a majority are merchants. However, they do meet up in the main city, where the king of the region resides, to trade.
Families are similar to human families, except having more than one partner is widely accepted. So, people often have multiple parents and have large extended families. Are probably the most widely, accepted clan.
Official Language: Punjabi
Ethnic slurs: Feuj (a Jew).
Their creator: Raba
Fae: Small, humanoid creatures that live all around with wings and in large communities, never in solitude. Ethnic slurs: Gaijin (a foreigner). Official language: Sinhala Their creator: Deviyan Vahansē/Bhagavāna
Merfolk: Humanoid fish people that populate all bodies of water across the land. A more primal and dangerous race that isn’t often seen near the surface of the water. Official language: Gujarati Ethnic slurs: Xu kin (shit eater) Their creator: Deviyan Vahansē/Bhagavāna
Rakshasa: not an official race but includes demons, spirits, and all malevolent creatures of myth. Rakshasi: not an official race but includes nymphs, holy spirits, and all benevolent creatures of myth. However, the Fae do not fall into this category because they are of a different lineage. Their creator: Deviyan Vahansē/Bhagavāna
+People that do not belong to any of the previous clans are called Dim enw (no name) and are often of Duine descent (human)
