    Using the word demi human is derogatory against sentient humanoid races beast man could also be not acceptable so what else would you call them other than non humans?

    Well seeing as how often they aren't actually half-human half-xyz
    Something akin to Lion-kin and cat-kin and leprechaun would probably be better or just give them a cool sounding name.
    Such as for dragons-kin. Dracor (Draco Superior).

    Are you after a generalized word like demihumans? That fits several races.

    "Those people" of course. Nothing better to call non-human scum.

    Unless if they're elves. Having been an elf myself, though the majority of my elven life was in slavery to a dirty human douche, Ai-chan can say that elves are just like humans. Elves are just prettier.

    Humanoid - most bipedal creatures with thumbs, languange and other characteristics that humans have despite varying in their appearance

    Person - according to Peter Singer who refers to a previous definitionof the word

    And to begin with: just because we only have the word 'human' doesn't mean that there is no word in the language of the different world that can refer to beastkin without putting them into comparison - man is the measurement of all, even language (no feminism please)
    (Why not call them ahmun?)

    Or we just assume that 'human' encompasses every humanoid creature in other worlds.

    Well, why don't you go shove a tail up your arse and place yourself in a non-human's position, then ask yourself "What do i want the humans to call me?", hmm?

    Simplest way of finding out what someone else wants is seeing things from their point of view. (Well, you know, other than asking... but we don't have anyone to ask here, do we?)

    "People" is a bit of a stretch. Non-humans can just be called "slaves" or if they're not properly collared, call them beasts or scum. Or if they're elves, "slut" works.
