Are non-race related entries allowed here? I'd like to know if I can add one about Bitch magazine, since I'm told it's trying to reclaim the B-word, much like us Black folk supposedly did with the N-Word.

This is for any insulting term treated as this way.

"Because whites as an ethnic group have not experienced racial discrimination (at least in history recent enough to be considered relevant) as almost every other ethnicity in the U.S."

I wouldn't argue that for the US, but around the world white people certainly suffer plenty of racial discrimination.

I removed that line of bullshit. This trope's the gayest I've encountered on this site. It reeks of political correctness (which's a euphemism for wrongness).

You hate political correctness and edit out things that offend your sensibilities.

I just wanted to point that out. It's only wrong when those people think it's bullshit.

I deleted this: "(Another aspect of the Double Standard: the "W-word" and "G-word", whitey and gringo, though clearly slurs, were until recently freely usable by anyone without getting called on it. Allegations (albeit unfounded ones) that American President Barack Obama's wife may have used the former is one of the first times it's ever been indicated that a black person might not have "W-word privileges".)"

What evidence is there that "whitey" is freely usable by anyone without getting called on it? To begin with, it's incredibly short-sighted; somehow I don't see black people in the 1950s South getting away with using "whitey," and that counts as before "until recently." And I can't think of any examples of a major political figure getting away with using "whitey." Henry Louis Gates is still catching flak for using "whitey" once when he was in high school.

Oh horror of horrors.

Shouldn't this be behind the anti-Google wall? It's undoubtedly "inappropriate".

It's a bad idea to actually use the term "N-Word Privileges" when you aren't talking about being black... Learn from my wisdom, friends. Learn from it.
