Does the term "honky" offend you?

Why does Facebook think it's ok for a Hispanic guy to call me "honky" when it's clearly meant to be derogatory. Now when I call him a "wetback" my comment gets deleted by Facebook. "Honky" doesn't offend me personally but it seems like other races can trash whites and it's encouraged. Btw I reported his comment after mine got whacked as an experiment and all is well with what he said.

Again, honky or any other term doesn't bother me. I just wonder why its ok for non-white races to call us what are meant to be derogatory terms, but whites lose their jobs for such things.

No.

As a straight middle age white male it is basically impossible to offend me

Sticks and stones...

Words are only offensive if they offend someone. Neither Honky or nor Cracker offends me and I do not know anyone who is offended by either. It must be my white privilege.

"Honky" is lame. I wish they'd come up with something more creative.

No. I don't give a frick if someone calls me honky, cracker, whitey, etc & I don't care enough about the whole situation to start a thread about it.

I've never understood it myself and have been called it more times than I care to count. My point is that it's meant to be derogatory but it's ok since it's another race doing it to whites.

No. If you're easily offended, you're easy to control/manipulate. I'm not allowing someone that power

If you let a epithet offend you, you are pathetic. Conversely, if you use an epithet to offend another, you are pathetic.

ETA: If you use Facebook, you are pathetic.
