wrong definitions[edit]

This is a noun, but the definitions are those of an adjective. That needs to be cleaned up. Angr 12:01, 14 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Re: "of a different group..."[edit]

The words in the title are from the definition. I don't think the phrase is well-used, and can be confusing: "different" to what?" one might ask. Also, with fairly abstruse terms like this, an example would be very handy. And "negative worth" is not a term I have heard elsewhere. I wonder why someone who writes like this would be interested in a term like "ehnophaulism". This needs rewriting. I'll have a go at it later if no one minds.

I've rewritten def. for style and clarity, and provided an example. (I hope that this is not inflammatory.) I've removed the second definition, which was far too general. Ethnophaulisms are not simply derogatory words, they must be ethnic slurs to qualify. There are many ways of being derogatory without being racist. Myles325a 03:33, 20 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
