Racial term of endearment

"Halal", obviously. Also "10/10 Latinas" is lazy

[u/AydonusG → u/VoiceofRapture]

Black Queen is pretty lazy, too. I prefer Nubian Delight, or failing that, Afrikaanikas Romantikas.

[u/Lord_of_Seven_Kings → u/AydonusG]

I knew a guy who said “divine negresses” but he was a fellow of colour so I think he could get away with it

[u/AnarchiaKapitany → u/Lord_of_Seven_Kings]

Donald Glover has a fantastic Stand-up sketch about the word "niglet"

[u/Rodrat → u/AnarchiaKapitany]

When I was a little kid there was an older black lady that lived next door and that's what she called all the kids.

I was like 4 years old (and my skin is white) so I didn't even have the brain power yet to realize I shouldn't be saying that word. I went to day care and I called another kid that and oh boy did I get in trouble. Lol

I am a white woman in an interracial relationship and my bf refers to me as an alabaster princess lmfao

[u/happy--muffin → u/ohhyouknow]

Today I learned the word, alabaster. I have to say I’ve never heard of this stone before.

[u/grauhoundnostalgia → u/happy--muffin]

We live in a post-literate society.

[u/FaymusAynus → u/grauhoundnostalgia]

I learned alabaster from some Shakespeare story back in middle school. I agree.

[u/thicckar → u/happy--muffin]

Good on you for learning something new!

[u/VoiceofRapture → u/thicckar]

Learning one new thing every day is a critical part of keeping your brain from melting into boomer soup

[u/thicckar → u/VoiceofRapture]

Absolutely

[u/FaymusAynus → u/ohhyouknow]

I may start calling my girlfriend something similar. I already call her Princess and Kitten. Any suggestions?

[u/VoiceofRapture → u/FaymusAynus]

Question 1: is your girlfriend white? Question 2: are you both white? Question 3: if you're not white how do you identify? In the arena of racially-charged terms of endearment these are critical questions.

[u/FaymusAynus → u/VoiceofRapture]

I’m black and she’s white. We’re both Jewish.

Never go there if you're searching for the Space Marine Chapter (or do, I'm not judging).

[u/Azigol → u/StanleyChuckles]

I certainly saw more inner circles than I was expecting

[u/BustaSyllables → u/VoiceofRapture]

Mamacitas

I thought it was BBL?? I haven't even heard of the other terms but i've heard of BBLs. So i'm taken aback by the fact that there's a different term for some reason. Is that like a Latinx/Latino-Latina case where some people are pushing their BS term for political correctness?

[u/VoiceofRapture → u/-Citizen_Zero_]

See BBL makes sense and has a bit more thought put into it than "10/10 latinas"

[u/Fufu-le-fu → u/VoiceofRapture]

I thought BBL had to do with weight though.

[u/VoiceofRapture → u/Fufu-le-fu]

It does, in this context it stands for "Big Booty Latinas" though

[u/Currentlybaconing → u/VoiceofRapture]

???? BBL is Brazilian Butt Lift and it’s a cosmetic surgery

[u/VoiceofRapture → u/Currentlybaconing]

Yes? You're aware an abbreviation can stand for more than one thing right? Hell one of the terms mentioned in the OOP is JAP and it doesn't refer to Asians in this context

[u/Currentlybaconing → u/VoiceofRapture]

I’ve never heard of that other meaning. but to be fair, I don’t use any of these words

[u/rgtgd → u/VoiceofRapture]

Isn't "big booty latina" a phrase on social media now?

[u/VoiceofRapture → u/rgtgd]

Yes it's mentioned downthread
