Beur (), or alternatively rebeu, is a colloquial term, sometimes considered pejorative, in French language to designate European-born people whose parents or grandparents are immigrants from the Maghreb. Beur . Larousse Dictionary. Accessed 2011-04-25 The equivalent term for a female beur is a beurette. However, the term beurette is condemned and criticized by several anti-racist organizations because of the xenophobic and degrading connotation that this word has taken on over the decades (in particular because of the Sexual fetishism of North African women in France as well as an insult stemming from colonialism: for several years the racial category beurette was the most popular in France on porn sites). The term rebeu is neither applicable to females nor does it have a female version.
The term is mostly used in French-speaking European countries ― France, Belgium, Monaco, Luxembourg and Switzerland ― as well as in the Maghreb. Due to cultural integration between such peoples across Europe, the term is now popular in other parts of Europe with a large Maghrebi community, such as the UK, Spain, the Netherlands and Italy.
Since 1992, the Beur FM radio station has broadcast nationwide (106.7 FM in Paris). BEUR.FM. Accessed 2012-01-11
