List of Derogatory Words in the 21st Century

The Independent Scholars are collecting derogatory words to be compiled in a list held in the library at The Institue as well as circulated on the internet. These are the words being used, at this time, in our social history, and words which are to be generally avoided, since they can be taken as humiliating, hostile and derogatory or 'fighting' words to the listener.

These words are alos very revealing, relecting the underlying prejudices and bias that weaved in all societies and cultures.

Please bring inyour personal list of words you consider derogatory.

You can also access this list on our QC Institute Independent Scholars on Likendin. We will continue to expand it as our Independent Scholars bring in their contributions.

First Session in compling the list is on Thursday June 9th, 2011.
