curry nigger

People of African descent get 'nigger' tossed at them--and use the pejorative amongst themselves as, some would say, a form of empowering re-appropriation. We also have 'sand nigger' for the Islam-colonized of the Middle East and North Africa. Admirers of the British raj use yet another variation for the swarming multitudes in India and their overseas cousins: 'curry nigger'.

A lot of curry niggers are popping up on TV these days: that chick on ER, Apu, the Qwikie Mart owner on the Simpsons, and that other chick from The Office.
