It’s always “little lady” and “boy” or “girl” AND white women who never say girl except when talking to a poc/black woman

A lot of people do not understand that a lot of language is rooted in racism. Sure, in today’s context it might not be intentionally racist but it was at some point, and that context should not be forgotten.

absolutely, it’s engrained in everyday phrases, especially in more southern areas (similar to the comment below). Many people are also just unwilling to learn when called out which is just very dissapointing
