Is the word "uberwhite" racist?

uberwhite as in a stereotypical white person? i wouldn't use the term , so maybe it's one of those "i can talk about my mama, but you cant'" things

Let me ask this

would it be "racist" if I said

"uberblack"?

If you say that is racist

then you should think that saying uberwhite

is also racist.

Thinking that only uberblack is racist is

a double standard & hypocritical.

I've never heard this term before & I think its pretty stupid now that I look & it. Since there is no reason to call or classify someone uber black/white because it seems just used for an insult purpose & calling out some one's skin color to make a negative connotation, then indeed it is racist. I agree with you.

I tried to research the word and couldn't find it. Just because

the word has the word white in it doesn't make it racial or

racist. It is the context the word is use in that makes the

sentence racial or racist.

Just adding the German Über before the English word White does not automatically make Überwhite a racial slur.

In German Über can mean "over" or "super." Depending upon context Überwhite can mean "sparkling" if referring to teeth, "whiter-than-white" if referring to laundry, "dazzling" or "newly white-washed" if referring to paint.

Describing another person as "Überwhite" can mean "pasty" or "corpse-looking" or even "mid-1950's American culture" as well as "tending toward white supremacy." Suzie Creamcheese, Beaver Cleaver and Dick Nixon are not "skinheads", but could be referred to as Überwhite.

When it comes to words, one person's common usage is another person's vulgarity. The word "Überwhite" is still in development. Some people will use it as a racial slur. Others may have a different meaning in mind.

its racial but not racist. get it straight u racist.

yep, dwayne called it. that kid is uberwhite, and i see absolutely nothing wrong with that term.

i've never even heard of that

no but its kinda funny.
