I don't know any racist names for white people. Does anyone know any? Surely there must be some? I was just thinking how some races have words that only they are allowed to use (like black people can say '******' and everyone else can't), so I was wondering if we white people had any special words that only we can use.
Once, when I went to church service with one of my best friends at the time who was an African-American, I was the only white speck among the crowd. Talk about a role reversal. Anyway, I experienced some prejudist reactions from some of the church-goers, looks of disgust and was referred to as Snow White and Barbie by a few of the girls who looked good and ready to scratch my eyes out. It was definitely a different experience, to say the least.
uuum i've heard the expression white chocolate used....though that just struck me as a gay strippers name rather then a racial insult
in hawaii were howies,, from the term howdy probaly, i think the problem with most raciel terms for white folks is we're generaly unaffended by the them
Cracker = poor white person. "Honky" appears to be the ONLY insult possible that matches your description. The blacks in my neighbourhood simply say "white bitch" or whatever.
Thats because whites have held the power over certain words..and the relevance of certain words towards white people are prety lame.. They hold no social and historic value really. I am half black... start calling me ****** and such..personaly i would not care [unless you were a friend].. I think african americans are holding onto a lot of baggage ..warranted or just a little bit too a paranoid extreme .. i dunno.
yeah, no shit. it only hurts if you let it. though i've been attacked on MANY personal levels, i finally got a fairly thick hide. but it does get a little worn out from time to time.
You ofay, honky, redneck, cracker, clay eating, white trash, white jive Mofo! Get your skinny white ass off the hood of my ride. That was my favorite - Citra early 70's
do you mean circa early 70s or something? anyhoo..... said in the right tone of voice, the phrase "white boy" uttered by a certain person at the wrong time can be considered fighting words....same with honky, cracker, etc. i think generally it doesnt phase most white people so no one really goes to the trouble of inventing new slur words regarding whiteness, its probably more the kind of thing they use among themselves when talking ABOUT white people than an insult used when talking TOO white people. i think most white people understand that we have "power" as a group and that reminding us that we're white isn't really an insult, so in general people dont get too upset about it. the reason (i'd imagine) that other racial groups get so up in arms about racial slurs used against them, especially coming from white mouths, would probably be because it brings to mind the plight of their people at our hands. kicking a guy when he's down, you know? though there's no real standard of whiteness. it's a generalized label for a large group of different ethnicities. if you want to get into racist words for people of white ethnicities (such as english people, italians, germans, the french, spanish speaking caucasians, eastern europeans, americans, etc.) then there's a shitload of terms that could be considered very offensive to some people. they just don't apply to all white people in general.
you know, i've never really considered southern italians, southern spanish or portuguese or those more olive complected sorts to be white, actually. i've kinda considered them mediterranean (sp?).
