Hindoo
Hindoo is an archaic spelling of Hindu, and one whose use today may be considered derogatory.〔 "Hindu, Hindoo A term borrowed from the Persian word ''Hindu'' ... ''Hindu'' is used today for an adherent of Hinduism, the common religion of India. ... ''Hindoo'' is listed in dictionaries as a variant spelling, but it is one that may lend itself to derogatory use."〕〔 "I faced repeated and constant racial slurs at school, from "nigger" to "injun" to "Hindoo." I, as one of the few children of color, was the equal opportunity target."〕〔 "On the streets, too, simple slur words like "Hindoo" and "Paki" – used almost with impunity in the seventies – underscore how language includes or excludes."〕〔 "For example, even though the majority of these newcomers were, in fact, practicing Hindus, by the mid-1960s, anti-immigration agitators had dropped the use of ''Hindoo'' as choice slur."〕〔 "Not being able to live up to the 'unattainable' images of 'Charlie's Angels' and the golden-girls of 'The Brady Bunch,' and facing 'repeated and constant' racial slurs at school such as 'nigger,' 'injun,' and 'hindoo,' combined with a lack of role models ..."〕〔 "I suspect the answer may be the long tradition of using that sort of 'simplified spelling' to indicate the speech of vulgar and low types of people. Nevertheless, there is a sort of visual onomatopoeia; a Hindu has dignity, while a Hindoo seems slightly ridiculous."〕
