Because the media will shame you for doing so, it's called white guilt.

We call one our friends white boy... It's weird because I'm white and I'm not sure why he's white boy and I'm not but that's how he's referred to 90% of the time.

Depends on how it's said. If it's meant to be a negative thing about your race, then it's definitely racist term

No because it's dumb to get mad at dumb shit like that. Stop getting offended by trivial matters.

While of course it's nowhere near the level of other racial slurs, can we agree that it's not a very nice thing to call someone? It's obviously derogative.

It can be used in a demeaning way, but who the fuck cares. If your feelings are that fragile, then by all means keep crying about it.

Nah were not being derogative when we call him whiteboy. Plus he's not really white, he's Italian.

calling black people "boy" has a very long historical context used to keep them down

calling white people "white boy" does not.

It is pretty racist. I can't tell you guys how many times those were the last words young white men ever heard before they were lynched for being white in America.

I can't because it never happened.

So because "white boy" is not offensive, but "black boy" is offensive.

Why is white boy not offensive?

Imagine listening to people who tell you you should be more offended than you actually are.

imagine being this unironically lacking in empathy or understanding of context.

So only the past matters when it comes to racism? That if a new race is mistreated in the future that they should suck it up because there is no history behind the racism being directed at them? Wow.

The past matters doesn't meant the present and future doesn't matter. Same thing with black lives matter. It doesn't mean other lives don't matter.

The difference was explained for you multiple times in this topic. Why are you repeatedly asking a dumb question that has already been answered


Nobody explained the difference at all.

So far, the only thing that I have been told is white boy is ok to say and black boy is not ok to say. However, I am specifically asking @ThatMuttGuy to explain since he obviously stated that one is ok and not the other.

It isn't racist in and of itself. It can be racist depending on how you use it. On its own, though, it's nothing more than a descriptive term.

A word like the N word is inherently racist, because its only purpose is as a slur towards people of a certain race. "White boy" is more comparable to "Black man" or "Asian woman" than it is to the N-word.

Regardless of the intentions of the TC, the fact that some people truly think something cannot be offensive because it isn't comparatively as bad as something else is a pretty sad mindset.
