whitey
/ˈwʌɪti
/(also whity)
adjective [usually in combination]
With a whitish tinge: a whitey-grey colour
noun (plural whiteys) informal, derogatory
Used by black people to refer to a white person, or to white people collectively.Mind you, so was the old way of picking the South Africa team: 11 whiteys, blacks to fetch the beers and clean the latrines....
- Just about all of them were black, apart from a few whiteys trying not to look like newspaper reporters.
- And on the topic of whitey awkwardly using black slang, the game begins with the announcer enunciating ‘in the hizzle’ and ‘ballers’ as if they had quotes around them.
