    I’ve been white for 45 years now and have never heard anyone use any of these. I have seen racist people on TV use these terms to label them as white people terms. I mean racism is racism no matter skin color.

      I’ve heard all of these lots… Regional differences? They’re certainly popular in entertainment too

      And the “white anger” bit is clearly a joke

          Explain? What part of that is putting down white people? Those are things I and many people I know say. It doesn’t say all white people say those things, but even if it did it wouldn’t be racist. It just isn’t discriminatory. Racial humor is not the same thing as racial discrimination. It’s just a funny comment, which is accurate, on unique phrases to certain dialects. A similar post about another dialect would not be racist either, as long as it isn’t discriminatory or inaccurate.
