I tend to agree with you here. The list of epithets in the original post all referred to white people (mostly) of different nationalities or countries of origin/ancestry as opposed to races. I don’t associate Italians, or Irish, or English, or Scotch, or German, or French with races that match up with their Nationalities. I mean we did this in the past, I suppose with the Nazi’s referring to themselves as the Master Race (or trying to create it at least) but I don’t associate Nazi’s with Germans any longer.

When we evaluate the us of the term Ghetto Girl to MO, this elitist black woman from Martha’s Vineyard is referring to MO’s social status as compared to her own, and to a great degree her perpetuation of the victim mentality prevalent in the black community. This is a black person labelling another Black person (from the same country of origin - namely the US) with an epithet. I detect a lot of indifference here on the part of the Massachusetts Black ‘Elites’. I wonder if there is any connection between this indifference and the fact they keep electing dolts like F’n Kerry and Fatass Kennedy to the Senate.

“White” until the last generation meant “WASP.” or British-American. For the longest time, this left out Jew and Catholics. In the 19th Century, German-speakers were not thought to be “white.”So it is not simply a matter of conplexion.
