A derogatory term towards black people. Largely used in the 1970's as a way to equate black people to the earwig bug which are known for being in gross and nasty areas as well as an unwanted pest. The term resurfaced in the early 2000's quickly dying down, but is now, in 2021 being used by conservatives as a way to shut down black voices. The term is also used to mock black Woman for having wigs.

The Earwigs are on tv again, what a shame.
