Verbal equivalents maybe aren't inconceivable, but almost have to be deliberately offensive.
Those aren't of much use in any current developed country; all of them would result in criminal charges, which would give you Social Stigma and/or Enemy (Hunted, Police). Surely there are habits that would produce extreme bad reactions in Sweden, Canada, or Japan, without actually being illegal.
