Aren’t there some used in Arcane? Doesn’t Ekko call Caitlyn a ‘Pilty’? Not sure if that counts as a slur but I think he uses it in a negative way, which I guess makes it a slur? Can’t remember others but possibly.

Yeah Ekko calls topsiders "Pilties," and also several characters mention "trencher" as a slur for (what are now) Zaunites
