kaffir
Kaffir is a offensive racial term that has historically been used to refer to people of black African descent, particularly in South Africa. It is considered a racial or ethnic slur and its usage is widely discouraged due to its offensive connotations. Alternatively, Kaffir lime is a type of fruit native to tropical Asia, including parts of Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines. Its rind and crushed leaves emit an intense citrus fragrance.
