10 An offensive term for a white person. People can usually get away with using it in our reverse-racist world. Only white people are racist, remember that.
2) A term that ignorant assholes don't think is bad due to the fact that white people were once slaveowners. Somehow, black people, nor every other race on the face of the fucking earth, have ever treated people badly. Except for the fact that black tribes sold their <b>slaves</b> to white men, thus initiating the slave trade. Also, these people are under the impression that we must forever carry a burdon and be subject to their bullshit racism for something our ancestors did, not us.
3) A person who shall forever be blamed for the rest of the worlds downfalls. White people have supposedly done nothing for the world, except invent the majority of things that you use today (to include the computer you're using right now).
