 * I should have mentioned that it is the sense of a slur against white people I am requesting verification of. Of course, the sense of a member of the Ku Klux Klan is attested. Sorry, I am new at this. Thank you, Equinox, for your help on this. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 19:09, 19 March 2017 (UTC)


 * RFV-failed. The one citation in the entry was:
 * "But he's a fucking Klansman" — which was what Tim called any white man who was too crazy to talk to him politely.
 * which is a different capitalization and probably just using the "member of the Klan" sense. Compare "'but he's a Laborite', which is what she called anyone to the political left of her", "she called all conservatives Republicans", etc (or even Renard's old example that if someone mistakes a frog for a toad, that doesn't cause "toad" to mean "frog"). - -sche (discuss) 04:45, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
