Stay-Puffed as in marshmallow. It’s white, soft and sweet (sugar boy is prison slan for someone on the recieving end of some innmate to innmate gratification.).
Huh? Never heard that one before.
What about ‘maggot’? Or, ‘lice’?
Wow, resurrected after a year and a half.

Pardon my spelling here but how 'bout guygin. It’s Japanese for “foreigner”, although it’s used almost exclusively for white people and is actually quite insulting.
There’s also a nifty mandarin (I think) word that means “white devil” but I can’t remember what it is…
Incidentally, I’ve heard that some native Asian people (as opposed to people of Asian descent born in North America) think that white people smell like sour milk. Interesting.
gaijin is the usual transliteration.
haole is Hawaiian for whitey - apparently it’s very insulting. Pronounced howly, more or less.

theres “white guy” in samoan: palagi (pronounced ‘palangi’ i think… i’m not much of an expert in samoan though)
in maori, it’s pakeha, but thats only an insult to some ppl (kinda like how some homosexuals don’t mind ‘queer’ and some do)
and of course as alice_in_wonderland pointed out, theres gaijin, in japanese (shortened version of the polite ‘gaikokujin’ meaning foreigner)
thats all i know in other languages…
i have an exceedingly pale friend
i call her “melanin deprived” or “pale girl”
what did they call that albino guy in “me, myself and irene” again?
q-tip?
can someone explain to a non-american what a q-tip is?
A small stick with pieces of cotton fluff on either end, ostensibly for cleaning out the ears.
Wow, who woke this corpse up?
Going over it I still think “Yakoo” has the best feel, but it sure looks like we’ve been lax in the past year-and-a-half implementing it. Slackers.

Well, judging from the response “breeder” has gotten in the pit lately, I think we found something, at least.
I’ve heard the expression “grey boys” applied to white men. Doesn’t seem to be used against women. I think it might be a variation of “gay boys.”
off the topic here, but here goes:
I used to work at a group home. One of the white kids was about to get into a fight with one of the black kids because he was called ‘peckerwood’. I calmed him down by pulling him aside and asking him “What does that mean?” When he realized that he didn’t know, all the fight went out of him, and he started laughing.
Off course, it probably also helped that I’m a VERY big man, as well.
Jesus! I’ve been obssessed with Uke’s vests for a long time now, haven’t I?
I’ll go with BigGirl’s suggestion of “okeydoke.” Not that it really means much to me, but the sound and rhythm of it definitely imply serious insult. Also it’s got echoes of Okie, yokel, and hokey in it.
Yeah, I think I’d be insulted by that. Fire away!
I vote for round eye.

You lok the person up and down slowly, and with a look of disbelief and disdain, you say “Master race, eh? teehee”, and calmly walk away.
Gwai means ghost or devil, and always has a negative connotation in Cantonese, Mandarin and other sundry Chinese dialects. “po” according to my dictionary means 1. old woman 2. husband’s mother; mother-in-law. “gwaipo” therefore isn’t real complementary either. This is a racial slur and should not be used. I know it is very commonly used in Hong Kong, but that doesn’t make it acceptable. I will thank you to help prevent the spread of ignorance by not using these terms.
Honky, on the other hand, is used occaisionally in the English Asian press to refer to people from Hong Kong aka Hong Kong-ese
Biggirl:
I didn’t realize you were, ah, multi-complexioned.
No wonder in that other thread you wanted to detach my woopsiedoodle and carry it around with you. You no doubt wanted to perform some African ritual with it to make us white boys even smaller than we are, to the point where we can’t even masturbate, much less copulate. You beastly fiend!
In that vein (if you will) I propose…

What ever happened to “offay”? I thought that offay was going to be the next big thing in racial slurs.
