This is a thread for brainstorming racist slurs for fantasy or sci-fi. General use is preferred of course. Please don't debate the nature of slurs here, you're not clever for pointing out that many are only offensive by context, everyone already fucking knows that.
What this thread is for is those rare insults for which the context is built in or that are inherently insulting-sounding. Examples might include 'mayfly,' as said by elves to humans, or 'stunties,' as addressed to dwarfs.

If you must use a derivative of that, 'knifer' is better.

Shortcuts for dwarves
Treehuger for elves

Treehugger is too real world for me. What about fern-fondler? Grass-eater?
Of course not all elves are wood elves.

The most hateful epithets tend to be ones that eithe refer to a stereotypical behavior that is greatly looked down up or one that is historical in nature. For example, porch monkey refers to the stereo type of African Americans being lazy and sitting on a porch all day. It also plays on the charicature of African Americans resembling monkeys or apes. If you want real punch you need to come up with something that doesn't just point out a feature or behavior, but shames it.
For example, calling male elves "Fair lass", using the stereotypical "lithe and beautiful" appearance of an elf as a back aphanded compliment by saying they all just look like soft women.

I generally use "Offie" as a derogatory for off-worlders in sci-fi, and a fair few alien races with weird eyes of any kind end up getting called "Squints"
As for fantasy, can't go wrong with the ole' "Greenskin" for orcs.
Otherwise if i'm trying to insult an elf i'll generally just call thema girl

Greenpig/ pigface for orcs.
Mangirls for male elves, woodsluts for females, weedies as mild and gender neutral.
Diggers/ shortlings for dwarves, the latter also for halflings on par with mildly racist "halflings".
Leggies for non-dwarves and non/halflings.
Crumblers for humans used by elves and dwarves.

Dwarves are shrubs. Not only does the reference to hippie shit bother them, but they're short and bushy so they can't deny it.
