Take not Hipsters and SWPLs, they are catching on to you.
Here are some things White Americans say that seem odd, offensive, arrogant, ignorant and so on. Maybe it is just me. Commenters can offer their own opinions and examples.
Those with links have posts of their own:
Caucasian – an outdated scientific term this sounds odd to me, like Oriental or Negro. On the other hand, White Americans still use it to refer to themselves and would know best if it is offensive.
ching chong – mocking or stereotyping a person’s language (or limited English) shows a lack of respect.
different (cultural) background – often used as a “nice”, unracist-sounding way to say that blacks, Latinos, non-Westerners, etc, are screwed up. Comes from an ethnocentric, deficiency model of people of colour – aka cultural racism.
ghetto – as an adjective it is used as a put-down for those parts of working-class black culture not yet appropriated by whites.
