you ******! an eye-opening database.

Originated during the Vietnam War (1960-1974) from the phrase 'Viet Cong,' shortened to V.C., which in the military phonetic alphabet is 'Victor Charles' which gets you to 'Charlie.'
From 51st Staters to Ice Monkeys, The Racial Slur Database is sure to find an insult close to home. I'm not sure how they plan on fulfilling the tagline of 'Helping make the world a better place', but this database sure is interesting.
