Isnt calling or naming someone by their skin racist? I mean i once heard some mexican call a 30 year old looking guy a white boy. how is he a boy isnt that stupid also. If you would call a arab or mexican tan boy they would say racist. if you would call a black guy black boy it would be racist. so why is it ok to say white boy and everyone is saying it now in my highschool some black girl came up to my friend and started hitting on him and kept saying white boy. isnt calling someone by skin racist?

Of course it racist. But apparetly making fun of white people is OK, what? I think everyone else is racist of white people and nobody complains. That is mess up. If a bunch of black people held a only black person club, nobody would say a thing. But if a bunch of white people would organize an all white person club, you'll end up all over the news. I hate that.

Of course it's racists, if you called someone else a black boy or brown boy you would call you a racists, but you have to remember it is only white people that are racists these days. Everyone else are angels. Yeah right!

you have to understand.......we, whites, are cosidered to be the "racists" by the other cultures of this country when in reality we aren't. yes whites have a sub-culture of people who are racists but as a whole we aren't the racists that the al s and jesses's would have you beleive. the reason it has become socially acceptable to use the term white boy is that we, whites, don't waste our time and play the racist card to try and improve our perception about ourselves like some of the other cultures do. W.P.W.W

If it was black boy being called you would have Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton there.It seems only racist when you say it to an afro american.

Realistically it is not the words that make it racist, but the tone and how it's used. But in a purely politically correct sense it would be racist.

No, it's a statement of fact. If you're a white boy, then it's ok to be called that.
Oversensitivity is getting out of hand in this country.
Edit: To answer your question- I can say black boy or brown boy if I want. If that's their color, then that's their color. That's how I see it anyways.

yeah I would say so.
Hey...do you know the song... "Play that funky music white boy"? You just reminded me of it.
I think some don't mind or don't care.
