Let’s see, there’s ‘ofay’ (pig latin for ‘foe’). Devil is pretty offensive, but only to the religous, I suppose. As far as WASPS go, not much is going to faze them. Because the media as we’ve known it for a couple of centuries was largely developed by ruling-class whites, you probably won’t have much luck finding negative portrayals of them. The Irish, Polish, Italians, etc. are another story. If you research whites by ethnicity going back to the 1940s (when all Europeans came to be recognized as ‘white’) you’ll find some pretty hatefull rhetoric and images. Also, if you want to go back so far that it hardly seems relevant, you’ll find negative depictions of ancient Northern European tribal cultures in Greece and Rome, where the word ‘barbarian’ (roughly meaning ‘hairy freak’) was coined to describe us. Judging by the tizzy most whites get themselves into when they hear African Americans describe themselves as being descended from Egyptians, you can assume we don’t like to be reminded that while most of ancient civilization was in full swing, we were living in caves picking lice out of each others’ manes for snacks. And I’m reminded of some particularly hateful cover art for one of Miles Davis’ albums, although I forget the title.
