I think I misunderstood, I’ve been offended by someone using a racial slur toward me that is not one generally used against white people and I was offended that they used it period. I’ve never rlly been offended but someone using a “slur” meant for white ppl against me

It will just never hit the same. I have been called a cracker before and it meant geniunely nothing. Getting called a regular insult prolly would’ve offended me more

All things aside my dear sirs and madams I hope this is what all of our cell phone signal bars should look like🫪🫪🫪

i’ve been called the n word by people being transphobic. it was more confusing than offensive

Problem is no one really cares about anti white discrimination, in fact some people even other white people deny it even exists

I’ve never called someone a slur that the slur is a slur for, sticks and stones.

I hit I've never been called a racial slur before I remembered that my friends in middle school used to make jokes about burning me and called me "jewey"

There’s no such thing as an anti-white slur

You know it’s crazy that ppl think that white ppl don’t have racial slurs towards them. Growing up I heard nothing but insults of my color. The moment I said something back I was racist and the moment my friend said something back she was needing ppl with her because of ppl trying to jump her. This all started in elementary school. Yeah cracker, sugar cube, etc…. It may not being anything to the person… it’s the concept that I can’t call you black or some other words but u can insult me.

Ain’t an anti-white slur necessarily, but I’ve been called “hick” & “hillbilly” cause I’m Appalachian. Hillbilly ain’t an insult; it’s a word I identify with. But hearing it used as an insult from an outsider stung like a mf.

We’re u actually offended or do you have some false sense of superiority and moral high ground against words which have no meaning?

See this is what I interpreted and I clicked yes so with op saying they mean anti white slurs (which id argue dont even exist) you can take one off of yes 💀

See the thing is words do have meaning even if those are just culturally constructed meanings

If you’re offensive to another minority group, shouldn’t they be able to fire back at you?

If slurs don’t have meaning, then no words have meaning

When did I ever disrespect you? When did two wrongs ever make a right? What happened to treat people the way you want to be treated?

You are 100% allowed to be offended and hurt by people calling you words meant in malice — or even not maliciously, but that hurt your feelings. Insults and bullying, regardless of the words used, are wrong. Hostility directed at you due to being white is also wrong and prejudiced. However, there is a historical precedent and present systemic inequality that differentiates anti-white insults from racial slurs.

Being called a sugar cube/etc is an insult against you specifically, that is couched in your race. Use of the n-word is an insult that calls back to race-based chattel slavery in the US. It carries the implication that one identifies with the white people of history who subjugated black folks with physical violence and that slur. Some people might even feel that it implies the speaker believes black folk should be slaves/should still be slaves. That might not be what one intends when saying it

But you can’t separate the word from its historical context, especially in a society where people of color are still disproportionately incarcerated and that modern-day slavery exists in the prison-industrial complex.

Again, I’m not saying the people insulting you were in the right. But there’s a difference between anti-white insults and anti-black (or other POC) insults/slurs because of the historical context of the words themselves and the persistent inequality.

it is a slur, yes. arguably not a racial one, though, since it’s a derogatory term for *poor* white people

I don’t think it’s a slur but like Google it lol.. it absolutely was historically used against poor white country folks (by rich white folks/city-slickers)

I’m not white, dumbass 💀 since you can’t read, I said it’s barely a racial slur. it’s meant to be demeaning to poor people. it’s a classist slur more than a racial one.

Systemic white discrimination does not exist in the US.

It makes sense there isn’t one because it’s functionally impossible to have an anti white slur in a white supremicist society, which is what basically the whole anglophone world is. Even outside the anglophone world all examples I know of are anti-foreigner, not anti-white. Slurs require corresponding structural oppression to be slurs.

Nobody is trying to be a victim. A quick Google search will tell you nearly all "slurs" (if you want to call it that) against white people originated against poor/rural/uneducated whites. It's not victimizing anyone, it's just recognizing basic etymology.

It's not a slur it's just an insult/pejorative. In common language people tend to tie the word "slur" to being extremely offensive terms targeted against communities who are targeted by systematic oppression
