Yeah that’s an arabian peninsula slur. seen it more than enough times after 2001.

“sandn*****” is an ancient slur that I haven’t seen in a while that cracks me up everytime because it is just so silly and so exclusive to the internet. But yes, it is aimed mainly at a person of Middle Eastern or North African descent, muslims in general but I have seen it being used to people from India as well. You get the idea.

Well… at least it’s descriptive enough to intuit the meaning of at first sight, I guess. Not all slurs have that going for them.

Hookwolf, like all Nazis, is enough of an idiot that the only thing I’d probably take from his slur is “Shatterbird probably isn’t white”.

Eh, fair enough, though I’m not sure I’d call Hookwolf an idiot. He actually seems like a pretty smart guy underneath the brutish exterior, apart from his awful racial views.

Through the mess of dozens of dirty and wet panes of glass, he saw her.  Shatterbird.

Hello!

A sand n*****, going by memory and the color of her exposed skin.

…well then. That significantly reduces the chances a) that she’s here to invite Hookwolf or Cricket to the team, and b) that she’s going to succeed if she is. Though the latter does seem to be a pattern already, with Bitch being the only successful nomination we’ve seen so far.

I assume this particular variation on the slur means she’s from, or has ancestors from, northern Sahara or the Arabic Peninsula. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong on that – I don’t want to search this phrase and expose myself to content written by real people who would use it right now.

The upper half of her head was covered in a helmet of colored glass, and her body was covered with a flowing garment made of tiny glass shards, like scales.

It just occurred to me that I’ve been imagining both the Simurgh and Shatterbird as being bright yellow all along (at least since I learned the nature of the Simurgh), and I don’t really know why. I don’t think either of them have been described like that… I guess it’s just what my mind defaulted to.

Maybe Paige has something to do with it? Also possibly Zapdos.

Anyway, that glass garment sounds really nice. It reminds me of Elsa’s ice dress from Frozen.
