Abeed

Abeed or abīd (عبيد, plural of ʿabd, عبد) is an Arabic word meaning "servant" or "slave". The term is usually used in the Arab world and is used as a slur for black people and it dates back to the Arab slave trade. In recent decades, usage of the word has become controversial due to its racist connotations and origins, particularly among the Arab diaspora.
