Talk:Hunky (ethnic slur)

message: This is a bunch of nonsense. "Hunky" is not an ethnic group; all of the ethnicities that fall under the term are keenly aware of their differences and origins. Hungarians self-identify as Hungarians, Croats as Croats, and so on. I suggest a deletion and/or complete re-write. Mihovil 02:07, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hunky is a group of ethnicities from the perspective of American immigrant history.  Their shared experiences make for a valid declaration of the group's existence.  Don't think of it in modern terms - think of it in historical terms.  It's a historical term now anyway. -Etoile (talk) 04:35, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Although I am not much competent in this topic, this expression DO exist, and refers to an ethnical group of Eastern-European origin. As far as Orszagh's dictionary is a reliable source of information regarding the meaning of words. (by the way, I visited this page because I stumbled in mentioned dictionary such a strange word, I wanted to know more about it)Velag (talk) 19:52, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

message: The slur honky, generally meaning "a white man", is pretty obviously related to hunky (probably originally a variant spelling, cf. monkey, and, for some Americans, donkey), yet it receives no mention in the article.  That should be remedied.  J. D. Crutchfield | Talk 20:21, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: Then just note the source here and I'll add it to the article. Would've taken just as much precious time as unnecessary underhanded comments. JesseRafe (talk) 22:06, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: No general consensus to move. Two editors in previous RM suggested the current title as an adequate name for the article but otherwise there has been no support or opposition for this in the two weeks or so it has been open.

replies: text: Hunky culture →  – Although there was unanimous agreement not to rename this to  as a primary topic, the current title is poor, as there is no particular culture that this term identifies. It is a term applied broadly to immigrants from a (loosely defined) geographic region that contains a variety of cultural characteristics. Other possibilities discussed in the previous just-closed RM include , , , and . I am not proposing to call it a slur since it is apparently not always pejorative. Another possibility is to rename it to , since that is apparently an approximately synonymous and more commonly used term and is more unambiguous, but the current article content seems more focused on hunky than bohunk. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 17:24, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Hunky culture →  – I believe we have agreed that the current title is poor, as there is no particular culture that this term identifies. I had suggested  in the most recent RM, but Amakuru suggested  instead. As a result, the RM was closed as no consensus. After checking with the person who closed the RM to confirm the situation, let's see if we can agree on Amakuru's suggested title. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 20:45, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
