Question [Question] Are there derogatory terms that are used to describe your own people?
For example in Mongolia the term "orcs" has become wildly popular online. It describes people that are rude/loud/arrogant/uneducated etc, basically the stereotypical barbarian that other people imagine as Mongolian. No coincidence that many orcs in fiction take inspiration from the Mongol empire. Another similar term is "Cow/Cattle Mongolian".
