Just the house having a big creak when I left this morning, thought it may have been ghosts. I don't think I've ever heard 'spooks' as a racial slur before, but I suppose if you think about it...
There used to be a cartoon 'The Wizard of Id' I think it was called. It had a character called Spook. Funny cartoon.
Derogatory terms you hear here are;
Abo
Sooties
Coon
Gin
Gin Jocky
'Black cnut' would be considered derogatory yet 'white cnut' is not? I could never figure that one out and I couldn't count how many times I've been called one (mostly on the footy oval although more recently just walking around town minding my own business).
Non derogatory terms often used are;
Blackfella
Whitefella
Coorie
