banana

English Wikipedia has an article on:

Wikipedia

Etymology

[

edit

]

From Wolof banaana, via Spanish or Portuguese, of unknown origin, but potentially from Arabic بَنَان‎ (banān, “fingertip”)[1].

The racial slur derives from the notion that they are “yellow (Asian) on the outside, white (Westernized) on the inside”.

Four different types of bananas. The larger yellow bananas on the far right are commercially dominant Cavendish bananas.
