Not racial, but women always catcall and make rude remarks about my “nice tight ass” and how they wanna “cop a feel”. Juvenile behavior; I pay it no never mind.
You know, that’s not bad advice.
Also, see a doctor and get rid of it.
Yes, in Junior High school by just a few black students. This was the first years of bussing in Seattle in the mid 70s. Shrugged it off and didn’t return the favor. Can’t recall a time since then.
I grew up pretty sheltered, private school, private college, and I didn’t go to graduate school until I started my first ‘real’ job working at a specialty chemical company that, at the time, was located in a predominately black area of Baltimore…our work force was predominately black, and in coming to work as well as going out for lunch, I was always in the minority…it was a little culture shock at first, but people are people, and, with one exception at first, I got along fine with the guys that worked there and they treated me well…
The one exception was an older gentleman who had grown up in the south (never quite sure where, I think Mississippi or Alabama) and had experienced the Jim Crow laws firsthand…he didn’t like me at first, didn’t seem to trust me although I had had little contact with him at the time…I asked some of the other guys and they just laughed and said, “He doesn’t like you because you’re white”, and being so sheltered, I never understood the concept…one day, I had to trouble-shoot a product in his area, he was giving me BS answers, just being nasty, finally, I said, “What the fuck is your problem?” He said, “You don’t like me because I’m black”, I said, “I don’t like you because you’re an asshole, I wouldn’t give a shit if you were purple, you’d still be an asshole…” He looked at me for a minute, this guy was twice my size, but I didn’t care, after a minute or so, he just started laughing, and we were fine after that.
I found it was the people on the street that were nasty to me, especially summer days when I had the windows rolled down, I was young and poor and drove crappy cars with no AC, I got yelled at, cursed, “Honky” and “Cracker” were common, as were “White boy” and “White motherfucker”, I had things thrown at my car, spit on, and the thing that amazed me, was it seemed the women were the worse…I had one lady come over to my car when I was stopped at a red light and ask, “What the fuck you doing here, you white motherfucker?”, I had another lady beep her horn next to me at another red light, I rolled my window down, she cursed at me, I don’t remember if it was ‘honky’ or whatever, it was just in that vein…
To the OP’s question, was I ever called, “Whitey”, I don’t remember, it’s possible, I wasn’t yelled at every day, but over the course of 12 years, it happened enough…‘white’ was certainly a popular adjective in many of the insults…
But again, the people I worked with, the people I got to know well, they were fine, and even a little sympathetic when I would tell them things that happened…they also got a good laugh out of it although that was more good natured ribbing…
On a side note, I got to be good friends with the main foreman in the plant, one day he and I were talking about the ‘N-word’. I said, “Damn, Ray, you guys call each other that all day long, it’s a horrible word, doesn’t that bother you?”, he shrugged it off, said that’s what they do, I said, “Yeah, and if I were to say that, you’d be pissed”, he looked at me and said, “Yeah, don’t do that…”
Whitey’s is a very popular locally produced brand of ice cream.
I was called “whitey” a few times when I worked at the grocery store pharmacy (one very memorable incident involved an extremely drunk woman) and before I went back to school, I worked with a black woman who called me “Miss Ann” under her breath. I told her, “I know what that means” and she was rendered speechless.
She didn’t work there very long, although for other reasons.
“My real name is Casper, but my friends call me Whitey”
In the infamous video a few years back where the old white Vietnam vet guys beats the shit out of a younger black guy who hit him first, the black girls filming, and who also stole the old man’s bag call the old man pinky. I had never really heard that one before, it doesn’t seem common but I wouldn’t know since I don’t hang out in the circles of people who would say that anyway.
Racial epithets against white people are generally pretty lame, or funny if anything, they just have no bite or force behind them. I did think the phrasing was kind of funny during the George Zimmerman trial a few years back, hearing the girl say creepy ass cracker.
I’ve been called “honky” maybe a couple times, “nigger” many times, “cracker” once or twice, and never whitey.
Never been called whitey. I did once have a patient who called me a cracker bitch when I declined to provide her with a narcotic prescription.
All my friends call me Speedo but my real name is Mr. Earl.
Not “whitey” specifically but I have had African Americans use variants of the theme to insult me. We live in a historic urban neighborhood that experienced white flight to the suburbs, became a vibrant black neighborhood/community, then for a variety of reasons went into severe decline through the 70’s and 80’s. Since the early 90’s very slowly the neighborhood has seen improvement and in the last 5 years there has been a much more rapid process of gentrification. Naturally this can create resentments and tension. Anyway, I’ve lived here for 12 years now so it’s not like we’re new residents but you get the occasional resentment and slurs. Usually it is in response to refusing to give money to a panhandler/addict and it is also usually tied to this being their neighborhood and I don’t belong here. As for my actual neighbors who are minorities, they’ve never directed any such comment to me or my family. We have friendly relationships as neighbors, make small talk or wave at each other on passing.
“White girl” along with “white bish” said with a snarl many, many, many times back in high school in Memphis back in the 80s. Also “sea witch” because that’s what especially pale girls were called, I guess like fishbelly white? I don’t know. It was not said in a lighthearted manner either.
I was called every name imaginable, racial and non racial. I was in law enforcement though, so I guess it was kind of expected.
