Gypsies: zigenare (not really that controversial in conversations, more incorrect in media)
Black people: neger
Arabs: sandneger (more used on the internet)
South Americans: indian, dago (used rarely)
Dark people in general: blatte, svartskalle, svarting

There are many more, just can't remember any of them right now.

More derogatory for Gypsies (in conversations) would probably be "tattare". It was originally used for mixed Gypsies/Swedes but nowadays, it seems to be used for Gypsies as a whole.

Among "Dark people in general", Turk can also be included. Swedes tend to use it as a "slur" for anyone with a MENA-appearance.
