I was reading the article and noticed that it states that the etymology of terrone (slur used against southern italians) is uncertain. Since the article is protected I wanted to add some details about this word: it comes from italian “terra” which means dirt, it is used by northern italians to underline even more how poor are the southerners. So that’s all that I know, if I get more information I’ll write it. 176.32.16.187 (talk) 20:32, 1 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm Argentinean and the "slurs" Turco, Franchute and Bachicha are listed as Chilean but we use them too. They're just ways to call those nationalities/ethnicities, they're not intended to attack/offend. Also in the list for Spaniards I'd add "gallego" and "tano" for Italians, which we use in Argentina, to refer to people from Galicia (gallegos) and people from Naples (napolitanos) because the immigrants that came here were from those regions. They're neutral, too. Momamomo (talk) 06:10, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
Other slurs I remembered:
Ruso: Russian, used by Argentinean Jews to refer to Ashkenazim Jews (Jews from central and eastern Europe). Neutral, sometimes of endearment.
Yorugua: Uruguayo (Uruguayan) spelled with the syllables backwards, used in Argentina and Uruguay. Neutral.
Brazuca: Brazilian, used in Argentina and Uruguay. Not completely sure if it's offensive to Brazilians.
Bolita: (Argentina) used for Bolivians, meaning literally "little ball". Highly offensive.
Paragua: (Argentina) used for Paraguayans, meaning literally "umbrella". Highly offensive.
Hermanos: (Brazil) used for Argentineans, spanish translation of brothers (irmãos in portuguese). Term of endearment.Reply
Will newspapers and webpages be enough? Sadly i know most if not all of these from personal experience being born and living in Argentina. Momamomo (talk) 16:10, 5 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Newspapers are fine usually. Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources has a list of ones that have been examined and found suitable or not. The usefulness of websites are difficult. It depends on who creates the website and the sources they use. I do not spend as much time on Wikipedia as I use too, but if you post them here and you are patient I can check them out. You can also post to Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard to have others check a source. Some words and some usages of words are simply not notable enough to be noticed and published in some way and are not included on this list. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 19:38, 5 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
