Karen, this is a lot of fun. I was just looking at youtube on a clip about someone who is really proud of hating Neal deGrasse Tyson. His name is McInnes and they (folks in clip) said of him:
"McInnes has referred to Asian-Americans as "slopes" and "riceballs""
And, of course, I thought of you.
Those two epithets are both entirely new to me, but are up to date and genu-i-nely American. And, of course, very hard to distinguish from respectable words without a context.
EtA: Just seen "slope" in an earlier post. Not "riceball" though.
