Bye Felicia

A racist term to demean and belittle women of color

In recent years, "Bye Felicia" has been used as a dismissive phrase to signal a lack of interest or patience towards someone or something. The phrase is commonly used to dismiss and belittle Black women specifically, and has been used in a derogatory manner towards women of color in online interactions, social media, and everyday conversations.

The phrase has been used to stereotype and marginalize Black women, reducing them to an object of dismissal or ridicule. It perpetuates harmful stereotypes that devalue and disrespect Black women, and contributes to a larger pattern of racism and sexism.
Example 1:
Person A: "I can't believe she's wearing that outfit. She looks so tacky."
Person B: "Ugh, typical Felicia. Always trying too hard. Bye Felicia!"

Example 2:
Person A: "I think it's important to acknowledge and address the systemic racism and discrimination that exists in our society."
Person B: "Oh, come on! That's just a bunch of whining. I'm tired of hearing about it."
Person A: "Wow, that's really insensitive. People are facing real discrimination out there."
Person B: "Whatever, bye Felicia."

The phrase 'Bye, Felicia' comes from the 1995 American crime comedy film Friday. According to Ice Cube, who starred and co-wrote the script, 'Bye, Felicia' is the phrase to get anyone out of your face. “Bye, Felicia” is a diss. The ultimate shutdown. You say it to people who annoy you, who've insulted you, who've dared to disturb your airspace with their existence.
