Difference in offense can be interesting. I was surprised to hear that "kaffir" was a slur in south africa, since in arabia (and the middle east in general), it's an arabic word meaning "infidel". Apparently it's considered very, very offensive and racist (i don't know about the stance in america/europe on the word) and i think can get consequences? Idk, it's just a term here lmao.
