I’m just surprised they haven’t come up with a better slur than Whitey.

I mean, why is it so hard to come up with a good derogatory name for whites?

Every other race has a bevy of choice racial slurs, usually more than one.

But all they’ve got for white people is whitey, honkey, cracker.

Come on guys, step it up.

It’s hard to come up with a derogatory name for whitey because... well, being called a member of the most successful culture to exist on earth just simply isn’t an insult.

I really take absolutely no offense at whitey, cracker, honkey, ofay, p*kerwood, or whatever...

[DBrow]

Peckerwood is one I never understood.

Almost every TV commercial has endless “dumb white guy or cracker” on there. Fed Ex, Konica, Castrol, Lowes, Verizon, AT&T and many others. “Stupid white males.” The minorities in the ads are always wise, intelligent and hip.

Another reason I cancelled OBama TV a year ago. All TV supports him and the Victory Mosque.

Well, that’s because they aren’t as RACIST as whitey, so they haven’t been spending all their time thinking of evil, hurtful, derogatory, meany words to use against white people. They have just NOW got on the racist wagon, so that is why they are so far behind in advanced name calling. /SARC

LOL... ain't that the truth? It really is too bad. They need something better. None of those slurs is even particularly offensive. They just make you want to wave back and say "Thanks! Have a nice day!"

Pretty lame. :-)

Yes but, they step it up a knotch and reach way into their vocabulary for “MoFo”. So, if you put MF before whitey, honkey and cracker - it intensifies the slur. See, they are creative.

A few years back, I left a casino/hotel on the Las Vegas strip after midnight and headed back to my hotel. En route, two females shouted slurs at me, white this, white that. When I turned to see them, I saw about four guys behind them. The next day I inquired with a local and was told that it was part of a Latino gang initiation and that the females were awarded points to prove themselves. Some such nonsense.

You forgot ofay.

[Deaf Smith]

Well, they could call me a WASP if it would make them feel better.
