I thought Kaffir is the head covering, so it's a slightly more refined way of saying "raghead." e: VVV Well what the gently caress am I thinking of? SubponticatePoster fucked around with this message at 23:46 on Jun 26, 2014 |

What I've heard is that it's the Arabic word for 'infidel', and was used by Arab merchants in eastern Africa for non-Muslim blacks. Which makes it kinda funny that Freepers would use it.

I think this one is kuffar, although it's common for freepers to appropriate the terms of a hated culture to show how "knowledgeable" about them they are, like taqqiyah at the top of the page.

Kuffar and kaffir are two different ways to anglicize the same Arabic word, which is used by many Muslims to refer to non-Muslims. Made of bees is correct about the South African usage of the term--European colonists picked it up from African Muslims, and used it to refer to native South Africans.

That is one of the things you can count on freep for, they are better than Archer for pulling out racial slurs from antiquity. Alla time with mulatto, quadroon, kaffir, and mohammedan. I'm a little sad not to have seen paynim or popeist, but I have hope for the latter during Francis's tenure. If I had to guess, it is an overdose of Kipling during formative years.

Old-timey racial slur. It's weird how the non-racists at Freep know all the possible ways to disparage blacks, including foreign languages and words that haven't been used in centuries.

All-time champion in that game has to be George Allen, who broke off an obscure French colonial term compared a dark-skinned volunteer for his opponent's campaign to a macaque monkey -- while the guy was taping him as part of his job to tape all of Allen's public statements in case he says something politically damaging.

Let the record show that in 2008 I was probated for using the term "kaffir" in Gibbis. In fairness, I was speaking on behalf of Muslim Somali troops fighting against Ethiopian Orthodox Christians. Presumably if I'd used the spelling "kuffar" I might've been okay, just the Souf Effriken flavour of the spelling I used got me. EDIT: Holy gently caress, I got probated at the request of Vilerat in 2008? Spooky! EDIT2: Dang, I got probated 4 times in 2008, mostly for LF-related drama, and twice in 2007 (both by [b]radium[b], who hasn't posted since 2007) for using the wrong thread tag (I think one of which was because I somehow left my account open on a public computer while in Tajikistan, seriously).
