The Racial Slur Database (RSDB) is a long-standing, crowd-sourced repository of derogatory terms and their origins used for academic research in linguistics, machine learning, and sentiment analysis. It is widely used to train AI models for hate speech detection and to study the geographical and social impact of ethnic stereotypes.

The proliferation of digital discourse has necessitated robust systems for identifying and mitigating hate speech. This paper examines the role of the Racial Slur Database (RSdb) as a foundational lexicon for computational linguistics. By analyzing the categorization of over 2,500 terms, researchers can better understand the mechanics of "oppressive slurring"—an act that seeks to establish or maintain unjust power through discourse role assignment. This study outlines how the RSdb is integrated into sentiment analysis and the broader implications for monitoring digital social climates. 1. Introduction This paper examines the role of the Racial
