34. Well...

like many who've posted on this thread, I'm mostly of white Anglo-Saxon Protestant ancestry, so I'm hard-pressed to think of any that DO bother me. Except, perhaps, for a few Asian ones..."gaijin" (Japanese) and "quai loh" (one of the Chinese dialects) which both translate roughly as "foreign barbarian devil". None of the other weak insults in English for WASPs carry the same breadth and depth of contempt and dehumanisation.
