    Just like we have the n-word in English, we also have the m-word in Spanish. Did you grow up hearing it?

        @aurabogado I heard it all the time, and as I kid I would challenge it. Eventually I heard it less, but my family still uses it.

        @aurabogado I know, but what exactly IS a m? Is it specifically a slur or does the word have dual meaning?

        @WeSeeRace It derives from a Náhuatl word for a dung beetle, and it's just about the worst slur.

        @aurabogado Why dung beetle? Is that a reference to how we supposedly stink or a color reference?

        @WeSeeRace I should add that most people don't know the origin of the word. They just know it's a really racist word.

        @aurabogado No, rarely if ever. Guatemala's most widespread and entrenched racism, though, is anti-indigenous.

        @aurabogado I only just found out what it was today. Never heard it, but my family did coin their own word to describe black people. :/

        @aurabogado I don't remember it, which frankly surprises me, because my grandpa would let loose w/the n-word.

        @aurabogado also varies by nation. In Panama, chombo can be a slur. In DR & PR, cocolo can be a slur etc. There R many other slurs also too
