Why is Kaffir such an offensive word to black people?
Kaffir is of Sanskrit origin, not Arabic. It means 'unbeliever' (of any faith or fact) or 'uncultured' - hence its use in 'Kaffir lime' in Asia - a lime with thick, bumpy skin, and small fruit area inside - an 'uncultured' lime. It went into Dutch too, meaning 'unbeliever' - in this case, not an 'infidel', but a 'heathen'. From Holland with the Dutch East India Company, it arrived in South Africa. All 'heathens' were called 'kaffirs'. The term has evolved to be a derogatory term in much the same way as 'negro' and it's alternate pronunciation, 'nigger'. In the same way as 'negro' is the word for the colour black in some European languages, its original use was not derogatory, but descriptive. It is not its original meaning, but the way it was used that made it offensive. Kaffir originally meant 'heathen', but its use was derogatory, and hence the word itself has become derogatory.
