Nerd and Gay. The most commonly associated slurs (and their synonyms) with knowledge of history, classics, art (objectively based art) as well as sociology and the stems.
That's what I was called out for as an Easy European migrant by my peers when I moved to the UK. Granted, the area was not the best, yet it was hilarious to say "oh dear, the empire has turned into wine hating barbarians". (As in my 20s no Brit liked to drink wines, especially red and dry)
Well. In the end 3/4 of the school failed but not me. At least my undying calmness reactionlessness made them give up on any form of bullying. I eventually became known as a "social butterfly" as I was able to walk between the "camps" and get along with the lads, the gals, the nerds, the Popular Inteligencia camp (I wasn't in it) as well as with the disabled and slow kids (I always had a caring nature). Became the most liked and helpful and they actually listened. Not that I made many long term friends but people recognised that I never had any alterior motive, and I wasn't playing around. They actually relied on me as a Neutral State hah.
Same repeated in college minus the bullying and again at university.
Btw. Whilst you did state "teaching 6 year old kids who don't know what sexual attraction is" is somewhat true... It's also somewhat not true.
Be it not 6 but rather 7/8. By the age of 8 every kid knew what sexual attraction was is school as Sex was not so taboo to hear about in eastern Europe. Obviously the only knowledge was when there was elsex on TV, knowing or being told how kids are made and that you may be a parent one day too was normal at that age.
Heck. The boys even searched for porn because it was the "forbidden fruit" and talked about it.
As a result, by the age of 8, I was knew with strong clarity what my sexuality was.
