Spectre wrote:Urbandictionary isn't exactly that great a reference, but the definition that's actually the most popular is the following:
1. white boy 3315 up, 869 down

the slang term for white people used by black people, the same black people that would get offended if a white person called them a nigger
azraels main argument was that i said whiteboy without the space between the 2 words. And my link shows what that means according to urbandictionary. According to him it would have been ok if i had said white boy.

On a side note i think its ridiculous were arguing about the meaning of words when there was no racist intention.

It would have been OK if you had said "white boy" because it could not be proven that you meant it in a racist way, that's what we're saying. That's why the conjunction is such a big part of this.

No.

You've provided no solid reason whatsoever for your conjunction of the two words. "It didn't make a difference to me" is not, in any way, shape, or form, a reason. If you don't have one, stop posting, because the explanation you've given isn't good enough.

Im quoting you here
White boy" or "white boys", a racial slur against white males (regardless of age) used most often by African Americans
and what i wrote was
whiteboy

Slang used by African-Americans to descripe someone who is white.
Go Whiteboy go whiteboy go
So if we go by your rules its ok to use a racial slur and not ok to use a term that describes someone who is white

I explicitly said that UrbanDict's most upvoted definitions weren't necessary correct, I actually used Wikipedia's disambiguation page as my first reference, and you've got the two other native speakers here agreeing it's racist.

Again from wikipedia
"White boy" or "white boys", a racial slur against white males (regardless of age) used most often by African Americans
Can you see the space between the words? And was there space between the 2 words when i typed it?
Why not search wikipedia for "whiteboys" and see what you get.

Also there are 2 non-native speakers who think its not racist

Whiteboy is the uneducated spelling used in some circles. It's also helpfully unambiguous about its meaning.

And now we see again how biased you are. You only want to see it as a racist slur when in reality it was something else.
