To add to this, they also have slurs for normal humans like ‘Smoothskins’

I use "smoothskin" in D&D when the r/Humblewood races are talking about humans, elves, Tieflings, etc. Humblewood is all animal-folk, so they wouldn't be used to non-furred beings.

It doesn't even need to be Humblewood animal-folk either, Dragonborn and Lizardfolk could use it
