Really? I've never heard that before in my life. Why is "frog" considered racist? Obviously, it doesn't have anything to do with skin color. Is it b/c the French eat frogs' legs? That seems like a pretty weak insult to me.
Since I don't think "French" is a race, I don't think "frog" can be considered racist. But Frog is definitely a derogatory term in reference to the French.
