    The yardstick keeps moving. You can be a racist just for waking up in the morning.

    Words and phrases are not inherently racist unless the person using them intends for them to be so.

        If he said in a mocking fashion because of the person he was talking too's race, then yes.

    I chuckled too loudly at the very fact you used it as an option, for some reason I didn't expect it. Well played.

    "No way Jose" isn't derogatory. I think Latinos think it's even cool. Latinos think speedy Gonzales is really cool, for example, some would say that's racist.

    I'm Hispanic and I have no idea how that phrase could be seen as racist. XD

      I'm white and I dont see how that's racist.

      Then again is there any white slang thats offensive to us? Cracker? Honky?

        I've seen white people get offended at those words even when it was said as a joke. I don't get why though. People have jokingly used the words Spic and Wetback at me and I just laughed that shit off. Words are only offensive if people give them that power. XD

        The only times I've ever seen white people offended over "racist language" were white people being offended for other races.

        Redneck is the only word I've seen white people get offended by

    It is used as a rhyme, not a slur. It's fine.

    I can see how a Hispanic would suspect that's racist if it came from a white person who doesn't really understand how their tone affects how they're perceived
