What does the ethnic slur Brownie mean?
<|assistant|>
Brownie is an ethnic slur used to refer to African Americans. The origins of the slur are believed to be in the slave era, when dark-skinned children were called "broughten birds", which evolved into "browns". In more recent years, it has been used as a derogatory term that reinforces racist stereotypes and can be found in popular culture.
