message: The inclusion of this term seems misleading, since the header says "whose current meaning has lost that connotation." Perhaps my personal experience is unique, but the group of Native American tribes seems like the default meaning of the term to me. It certainly has not lost that meaning.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seb144 (talk • contribs) 21:55, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Is thug really an example of what is being talked about in the article? I don't claim to know much about the Thuggee but from just reading their article on here they appear to be a mixture of criminal gang and religious sect. At no point does it suggest that they constituted any sort of ethnic group. Indeed the article states that they existed "across India" and given the ethnic diversity in that country it seems highly unlikely they would have been a homogeneous ethnic group if they were present throughout the country. If there are no objections I think it should be removed from the list. Keresaspa (talk) 01:27, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Check the article for Ethnic group to see the variation in definitions for that term and comment again if you think that those definitions do not apply. I support Thuggee remaining listed.  Blue Rasberry (talk) 00:07, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

message: I have removed Kike, Nigger, Jya, and Wetback as they are not ethnic group names being used as insults.  This page is not just to list racial or ethnic slurs, it is explicitly ethnic group names that are now used as slurs. --kelapstick(bainuu)  16:47, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
