this is in no way meant to be racist or offensive. its an honest question..?

Question

but why are all racist words are * out except for white ones?

Answer 1

to make everything here politically correct the Yahoo Answer Nazis have deemed it appropriate to censor some words and not others.

** if you want to use a word and don't want it censored seperate the letters with a space or use * between the D*A*M*N letters.

Chris Rock and Lisa Lampinelli both use the so called derogatory words.
both are funny as hell.

Answer 2

because white people haven't endured sh it.
what have you gone through that was such a struggle that will affect white people today and their generations to come?
nothing.
that's why.

n i g g e r
a word they used when they put us in shackles and stacked us on a boat.
that they called us when we tried to rebel by refusing to eat and got our teeth knocked out or hot coals put into our mouths.
the word they used when they hung black men from a tree and sodimized him with a pitch fork. (done BY whites)

haven't you seen American History X?
so many white people love that movie.
it's all about racism.
it's hard for minorities to trust whites.
what do you expect.
racism against any minortiy who has come to America has been against whites.
maybe other races too, but most definitley whites.
not getting a job because you're not white.
being sent to jail because of something you did that a white person did but didn't have to go to jail for.
and because you're white you'll say "well things have changed now. that's in the past"
because you're white.
and you don't know.
you don't see racism the way minorities see racism because whites are usually the cause of it.

I don't mean to be racist or offensive.
it's not mean it's real.
I'm not being mean, I'm pointing out the obvious.

it's different with minorities.
it's much more personal.

Answer 3

Aside from "honky", many of them are words which are useful and would otherwise not be banned (imagine a food discussion about crackers where that word was starred-out. lol.)

And I wouldn't really be offended except for the fact that the double standard exists.

Answer 4

those words that people sometimes call white people are not racist.How many white people have ever been hurt or felt degraded by being called a cracker.And who actually uses that word seriously,cracker was given to white people by white peple.There aren't really any racist terms for white people

Answer 5

Because crackers, honkeys, white boys and pasty honkies isn't offensive to the Yahoos.

Answer 6

Yahoo doesn't block out "racist" words. It blocks out derogatory terms.

There is no double standard. Just a bunch of people who don't understand the difference between a "racist" word and a derogatory term. And derogatory words don't just apply to race. There are many derogatory words. It just so happen that many of them are directed towards minorities (and minorities include women).

Answer 7

I'll post this and see if you're right
"paki" is not blocked out as far as I know.
Is ****?
Chink?
******?
Cracker?
Honky?
White Devil?

Answer 8

For the last time, when whites are oppressed and the racist terms for them are used to demean and make the race as a whole feel second class, THEN you can complain. Your ancestors started it...and im sorry to say the past affects the future...look on the bright side, as a whole, the white race is better off financially.

Answer 9

It's called having a double standard.

Answer 10

who do you honestly think has the minimum wage job of a yahoo sensorer
