What about Indians? --Vahag (talk) 07:32, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- People of India are often referred to as dotheads by racists. --Æ&Œ (talk) 09:47, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
- Not everyone can tell the difference. I remember a w:Russell Peters comedy sketch performed for a largely black audience beginning with Peters being called "sand nigger" and implying it was common. Soap (talk) 03:51, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
Kudos
[edit]I was going to add this one to Wiktionary not believing it would possibly be in here, but there it is! I am very proud of Wiktionary for including this one, the other dictionaries do not have it! WritersCramp (talk) 14:42, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
Question
[edit]Why extending this word to North Africans since they are not targeted by this slur?

- To cite this convincingly we would need to find use for Muslims who are not "of Middle Eastern or North African descent" (sense 1). Equinox ◑ 23:04, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
- Or use for MENA Muslims where for one reason or another it is evident that the term isn't racially or ethnically motivated. Since the term obviously alludes to deserts, I think that's very unlikely.__Gamren (talk) 23:55, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
