I’m wondering if there are any other words in our language that are meant to be demeaning and nasty to a race, creed or religion? If so, why aren’t they “banned”.

You mean like me, French, Frog? My former Italian assistant Olive Picker? A half-Lebanese friend Sand Jockey? All of these names that we sometimes call ourselves because they are kind of funny.
There are Beaners, Wetbacks and Kikes.
There are two of my blonde friends who trade Dumb Blonde jokes with each other.
There is my Chinese friend who calls us all Low-Fons.
And many more but most of us sometimes enjoy our ethnic nicknames.
But these names are not banned, as far as I know.

Beaner, wetack, greaser, slope, nip, gook, sand n****r, come to mind.
