Hori (slur)
text:
Hori is an ethnic slur used against people of Māori descent. The term comes from a Māori-language approximation of George, an English name that was very popular during the early years of European colonisation of New Zealand. By means of synecdoche, the term came to be ascribed firstly to any unknown male Māori and then as a negative epithet to all male Māori. The usage as a derogatory term for Māori grew with the increasing urbanisation of Māori and is still common, though its usage may be less
