* TamoraPierce has fairly generic slurs used against non-white people in her TortallUniverse (e.g. "sand lice" for [[FantasyCounterpartCulture the Arab-analagous Bazhir]]), and the CircleOfMagic books introduce the word ''kaq'', which is... confusing. We're told first that it's used by the Tsaw'ha or Traders to refer to non-Traders, that it's very insulting, and that its main connotation is ignorance of the superior Trader way of life. Trader-ness seems to be an ethnic and/or cultural designation rather than a racial one; the only Traders whose races we're told are black, but there's an ambiguous reference to the notion of a white Trader as if it wouldn't be remarkable, and we meet plenty of black people who aren't Traders. So it appears it's more an issue of cultural xenophobia than of racism. The main Trader character, Daja, soon stops using it about the other three protagonists as they become FireForgedFriends, but continues thinking of other non-Traders whom she ''doesn't'' like as kaqs, apparently feeling no obligation to stop thinking along generalized lines -- and her non-Trader friends adopt it for similar use against people who piss them off, as if it ''only'' means "ignorant person" and has no demographic associations. So who the hell knows what's going on there.

*** The use of Muggle could be compared to the use of 'Colored' and 'Black' for people with dark skin and/or with ancestors from Africa. 'Colored' was once the accepted term, as seen by the N.A.A.C.P, then overtime it became associated with a racist tone, and now is never used (additionally, even without the unfortunate implications, the term is confusing in the modern U.S.). During this troper's lifetime, 'Black' has been the accepted term, fallen out of use in favor of 'African-American', and come back in acceptability.
