More fun than a lifafa of macacas (updated)
Wonkette whips up a retro-themed Mysterious Macaca poster. Here’s the etymology of the monkey insult which among white supremacists, Latinos and Europeans approximates ‘dirty Arab.’ Background on the macaca hungama here, a slur directed to an Indian-American campaign volunteer for a political opponent.

There is no getting this indian monkey off the back ;)

Sounded like Macaca to me.
once a macaca..always a macaca
I’ve come across a new “gaali” - “teri macaca” instead of “teri maa ki”
Manish, shouldn’t at least one of your posts be labeled the macaca fracacas (fracas)? Seriously, what caca, Senator Allen.
