This may seem kind of stupid but I am kind of stupid, is there a list somewhere of phrases that are stupid or insensitive racially or gender biased?

I just got up from conversation with a couple of older black men, that I said "well I got to go back to work and start cracking the whip." And it occurred to me then that it was probably a really insensitive stupid thing to say.

Sadly, it hadn't occurred to me until it's already said.

Racist slang against Asians, think "beaners" for Hispanics.

Sort of an insult to beans and rice, two of the greatest categories of food, to make slurs of them, too.
