(11,795 posts)I'm a white male. I'm top of the social food chain. I give a shit. Call me wypipo, white bread, greymeat, cracker, or honky. Ain't never gonna affect me in the slightest. I still get the best access to everything society has to offer.
That's not me being an arrogant asshole, that's me being honest about my priveledge. That's all. Please don't misread that. What I'm saying is no verbal abuse is going to change said priveledge. That's just the shitty way the world is now.
My issue with wypipo is that it is going to perpetuate the stereotype that black people are ignorant. I can already hear it..."dumb motherfuckers can't even spell." "Fucking Ebonics." "Can't even speak English." I don't think it serves the purpose that's intended. I think it perpetuates a horrible stereotype. But hey man, do whatever. Don't bother me in any way except trying to explain when it inevitably comes up with people who've met 1 black dude 1 time. Dig?
And like a casino dealer (showing hands) I'm out.
