Darkeys

/ˈdɑrkiz/ noun

Definition

Offensive plural form of darkey; now considered extremely derogatory and unacceptable.

Etymology

Plural of the offensive slur darkey. This plural form is documented in historical records but represents language of deep racism and injustice.

Kelly Says

Documenting this word is important for historical understanding, but its plural form reminds us how slurs attempted to reduce people to dehumanized groups—this is language at its most harmful.
