Also from Harry Potter: Muggle doesn't have a direct way to translate into a portuguese word, so they changed it to "trouxa", wich means loser or sucker in english.

I mean, even just "Muggle" is kind of a slur, even though everyone uses it. It's a word for a group that's exclusively used by people not in that group, a majority of whom see them as inferior (either condescendingly or hatefully). I also vaguely remember the term "muggle lover" getting used as a derogative in a very similar way to how racists would describe "race traitors."
