Is calling someone a "white boy" considered racist?

[FreakMonster]

Well is it?

 

[Nathan]

i think it's kosher if a white person says it to another white person.

 

[the nature boy]

well if it is then the band Wild Cherry is racist as shit.

 

[bigguns7]

I think it is.

 

[manny78]

[casavant]

I generally don't care if I'm called a "white boy". It kinda cracks me up.

 

[dballer]

LOL. I heard black dudes like that.

 

[kronk]

Yes I believe it is.

On the other hand, I am just a stupid fucked up mixed bred American, so what the fuck do I know. I am Black, White, Spainish and French Canadian, so there.

when black guys call me white boy.. I call them black boy.. it kinda stumps them for a minute. Then they figure out why I am doing it. It usually lasts a few more times and they stop it.

I THINK THAT ITS NOT LOOKED AT AS BEING RACIST BUT IT SHOULD BE SOMEONE CALLS ME A WHITEBOY THEN I'LL CALL THEM WHATEVER IS THE RACIST REMARK FOR THEIR RACE BECAUSE TO ME IT IS BEING RACIST.

 

[plornive]

It's definitely racist. I don't really care, though.

 

[Nutri-Wrestler]

I think it ois, but when someone calls me white boy i will either say "whats up black boy' or 'hola wetback' depending on race.

Blacks use the term white boy to degrade white people. Its no different than saying nigger.

While I do agree that it is used in a racial manner, it does not hold the same connotation to whites as the N-word does to blacks.

Personally, I have yet to hear of a racial slur that is offensive to me (being a white boy).

Honky? You gotta be fucking kidding me.

Cracker? Yes, with my chili, please.

White Boy? Everytime I look in the mirror, I see a white boy in front of me.

I too use the "black boy" or "brown boy" when called a "white boy"

 

[lilperronis]

i dont get it but when a white dude calls them a "nigger" then they are offended and call the NAACP but if a black dude calls a black dude that they dont care

 

[hanselthecaretaker]

there is no term that could offend me for being white- honky, white boy, redneck, i would just .

Ditto,do the same shit.It may or may not be racist,but it's disrespectful either way.We are all the same race,the HUMAN race,so show me the same respect you would like to be shown and don't fucking label me.
