African-American Ethnophaulisms
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. African-Americans have a particular history in the United States, one that reflects both a dichotomy of culture and the struggle to break free of past stereotypical molds. One of the areas in which this is duly noted is with the different names that people of all ethnic origins – including African-Americans themselves – use to identify and describe this particular race. The significance of these names, termed ethnophaulisms, is typically to single out certain characteristics that reflect poorly upon the specific ethnicity. Long considered derogatory when used by anyone, the word "nigger" represents one of the harshest ethnophaulisms, inasmuch as its negative Jim Crow roots have never been shaken. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
