rejected.content: The ethnic slur 'Brownie' is derived from the racial slur 'boy,' typically used to refer to Black men. During the era of segregation, 'Brownies' was commonly used as a derogatory term for Black individuals. It was primarily used in Southern United States and is still heard among some older generations today. This term has since been incorporated into popular culture in a derisive context, commonly seen on satirical television shows and films. Additionally, it has been adopted by Black individuals as a term of endearment, particularly amongst Elders.
