A Question for White People? Do you use racist terms behind minorities' backs?

Question

I want an honest answer for the sake of knowledge and nothing more. I will not call anyone a racist because I know that my own boyfriend uses racist terms and I'm not white like him. I laugh at his jokes because I know he loves me and I love myself. Anyway, he told me that whites use racist terms behind minorities' backs. I always knew this was true, but I want people to finally admit it.

Please state what racial terms you use or (race)
Who you use it around, your own race only or all
If it is just for fun or in anger and racism
What you would do if your friends used them
And Do you feel you are in anyway better than that race

Thank you for your honesty!

Answer 1

Yes I won't lie when I see something on the news or perfect example the TV Show Cops I will say to my wife F***king n******ers. Not that there is any excuse for this but I do the same iwth white trash. I never have done it with spanish people as they do not have any quips that I have seen exploited. I think many ethnicities have bad things about them. So i fthat makes me racist fine but that is the limit o my racism.

For the record I am N*****er rich lol

Answer 2

I am a gay white guy in Maine who used to live in a Mexican part of Los Angeles.
I wonder what you mean by racist, though... I think that some people would think that my use of the word "black" instead of "African American" is racist. I use the term black all the time. (Well, not here in Maine, but I used to).
I have said *** ger, kyke, s pic, and cracker before. But mainly with other white friends in a (silly) effort to shock them. ( I DO, however, like the term "cracker." For some reason, I think it's cute, kind of like a biscuit, but I digress...)
I would not use such terms around others of those races whom I do not know. I think that in the current sensitive climate in the US, the person of that race probably would not care why I used it and might react negatively.
I have had friends here in Maine use "*** ger" in a very bad way and I have asked them why they used it. Usually it is part of an overall racist remark, so even if another word were used, it'd still be racist.
I do not think that white people are better than other races.
I will say, however, that I have been accused of racism when I worked in a black part of town. It was ironic that I, the only white person working in that bank branch (and dating a black guy at the time), was accused of being racist against a black customer when I KNOW she was reacting the way she was because I am white.
P.S. It's odd that Yahoo censored the N and S words, but not kyke

Answer 3

No, I don't. I'm white but my family is as racially diverse as one can be. I have Asian, black, white, Latino, and Native American family members. I have Aunt's, Uncle's, cousins, etc of different races. My biological daughter's dad is black and Puerto Rican. My adopted daughter is Laotian.
I would never use racist terms period, that would be disrespectful and demeaning to my own family. I do not feel that I am better than any race of people. The only people that I remotely feel that I am better than are "low life's" so to speak. People that abuse their kids, don't work, etc. But that has nothing to do with their race, it's all about the decisions they make as to how they want to live their lives.

Answer 4

Growing up I've heard everything but I've never cared for it nor called anyone anything.
But over the last few years it seems blacks are becoming the ignorant ones that say racist things to me which pisses me off considering I always denounced it against them.
The ones I can get to I leave laying on the ground blowing bubbles, but if one of them runs from me I'll call them names just to get them to come back.
I hate cowards so I'd have more respect for them if they stood their ground and didn't run.
I do it for their own benefit.
Bad thing is they don't come back and leave their friends at my feet, not a true friend if you ask me.

Answer 5

I'm white and believe we are all equal we all have "flaws". I don't use racist jokes or comments but a lot of people do and most of the jokes are so lame cause you could use them against anyone. Honestly east indians are the only ones that bug me because most of them(from experience)are extrememely hot headed and conceited, and they smell funny.

Answer 6

There's a time & place for everything. What is said and thought in private are not subject to others' scrutiny. I have cringed at hearing others use slurs, but I can't be hypocritical because I've used them myself. I'm sure others have called me a multitude of unkind things behind my back as well, but I don't lose sleep over it. We're all God's kids.

Answer 7

First, what is a "White" person and why are they refered to by color of skin? If I came up to an Oriental and said to that person;"what's up, Yellow Man" or a native American and refered to him as a "Red Man" then surley I would be considered a racist. But it seems to be alright to refer to people that are not considered "minorities" by their color. It seems only fair that I should refer to someone from Mexico as "Brown" right?
BTW, what is a minority? So called "whites" are only less than 20% of the world's population so why arn't they refered to as "minorities"?
To answer your question, yes.

Answer 8

No, I don't use racist terms. I believe that using them makes you look like an ignorant jerk who has little regard for others. When people use racial slurs around me I tell them that it is not appreciated or acceptable. I am very honest about the way I feel.

Answer 9

No. Not out loud nor I share such comments with others. But in my head I hear the words because of being programmed to not say such words. Hard to explain.

Answer 10

I don't... well I don't know if I can answer this question because I'm only half white.... the other half is asian... I don't see why people make such a big deal about race.
