I don't believe these are very old terms and they've never been considered legal words for the people [not that I know what all of them mean, implying they are probably just US based words and not that old]. The N-Word as you like to say is a latin descent word I assume and although I don't know the derivation of who introduced it seems quite likely it could have come from the medical community and/or the Romans.
