    Wigger, what does it mean and is it racist?

    I've always thought that it is what racist people said about white kids trying to be or acting "black". Just want to get everyones thoughts on the definition and whether or not it is racist...

    If you have black friends, then it's ok for you to say it.

      That is what I have always heard that it meant. I do not think it is racist. I actually think it is insulting to the black community. How do you act like another race?

        I've always thought of it as white folks saying combining the "N" word with white and viewed it racist because of that.

        Not sure, how you can act like another race either...that's another reason why I think it's a racist word, lumping all black folks together and saying that they ALL act the same.

          Can you explain?

          Isn't it a combination of the "N" word and "white"?

          What is the definition of the word Wigger in your opinion?

              lol what are you people talking about? It isn't fucking rocket science. Remove the N from the word N*gger and replace it with a W that most likely stands for "Wannabe" or maybe even "White." So you then have yourself a "Wannabe N*gger." Does it really need explaining?

                    Oh, I know what it means...I've heard different shit though. Just want to get other opinions.

                    So do you consider it racist?

                      I think you can be any color and be ghetto. I remember seeing kids in Tokyo on the train acting like thuglets and they were Ghetto. .. its about actions not color .. atleast that how I see it.

                        Yes, it is racist, but basically it is meant to mean.... a white person dressing, talking and acting like a black person. But yeah, I would say its racist.


                        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wigger


                        From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
                        Jump to: navigation, search
                        The satirical comic character Ali G invented and played by the English comedian Sacha Baron Cohen.
                        The satirical comic character Ali G invented and played by the English comedian Sacha Baron Cohen.

                        Wigger (alternatively spelled wigga, whigger or whigga) is a slang term for a white person who emulates mannerisms, slangs and fashions stereotypically associated with urban African Americans; especially in relation to hip hop culture.[1]

                        The term is a portmanteau combining the words white and N****R, and it has been used in a derogatory manner. The term wigger is generally used to describe a young, middle or upper-class mimicker of certain affectations of hip hop and thug culture. The word is considered offensive by some because of its similarity to hahahahahaha in addition to reflecting stereotypical notions about urban blacks.

                        The phenomenon of white people adopting stereotypical black mannerisms, slang, and apparel has appeared in several generations since slavery was abolished in the western world. The concept has been documented in the United States, United Kingdom and other white-majority countries. An early form of this was the white negro in the jazz and swing music scenes of the 1920s and 1930s; as examined in the Norman Mailer essay, "The White Negro: Superficial Reflections on the Hipster"." It was later seen in the Zoot suiter of the 1930s and 1940s; the hipster of the 1940s; the beatnik and rock and roller of the 1950s; and the mod of the 1960s.

                            i dont think its racist, because its not against the whole race its only a select few, i hate wiggers and im white.

                            it would be like saying a black guy is racist for calling bill cosby an oreo or uncle tom.

                              Discussing race does not make one "racist" or "ignorant". You need to unbunch your "draws".

                                It means a honky trying to act like a brotha, and no it is not racist.

                                  You also need to understand that there is a difference between some square ass kid from the suburbs that has never interacted with real black people in his life trying his hardest to be a thug, and a white kid who actually grows up in a "ghetto" area with actual black people. The latter is simply a product of their environment and they usually aren't on a mission to "act black," they just speak how everyone has always spoken around them as they grew up. If you are isolated somewhere in middle America and know nothing about urban life, then you probably will never understand...

                                    By yesterday's standards most of us are or have been wiggers, in our use of language, dress, and music. We just don't know it because we're in it.

                                    Ever use the expression "that's cool" or "that's wicked"? A couple of examples of ebonics gone mainstream for decades now.

                                    If you've ever worn your hat backwards or sideways you're just as guilty.

                                      It's only racist if you say it and aren't white.

                                        Yeah, wigger is basically a synonym for white poser of the worst aspects of present day 'black urban/ghetto' culture. Ditto for a black suburban kid who acts like he's from the hood. He's just a poser too (although people - black and white - are less likely to call him on it).

                                          I guess I can see how it can be taken as racist. I just never understood why they think they can act black. How do you act black? I think most people do not like that. The wiggers usually wear the baggy pants that fall off their butt, wear a bunch of fake bling and try and talk getto. All the black friends I have are nothing like that. So I think it is an insult to black people to assume they talk and dress like that.

                                              White + n.i.g.g.e.r = wigger. But really it should be "whigger."

I think most people do not like that. The wiggers usually wear the baggy pants that fall off their butt, wear a bunch of fake bling and try and talk getto. All the black friends I have are nothing like that. So I think it is an insult to black people to assume they talk and dress like that.
                                                Sounds like a good to me!

                                                  Discussing race does not make one "racist" or "ignorant". You need to unbunch your "draws".
                                                  Well you see in that thread I was speaking to alot of ignorant folks, so I have to dumb it down for them. In this thread, it is basically the opposite of that so there is no need for me to use "ignint".

                                                      Why is it only racist is you're not white? I always thought that if something is racist it's racist no matter who says it.

                                                      So an asian kid can call some white kid a whigger and it's cool but if a white kid calls another white kid then it's no bueno?

                                                          Eminem, I heard grew up around black folks so according to one post in this thread he's got clearance to act the way he does.

                                                          Vanilla Ice....Oh Yeah.

                                                          Jason Kidd--He's got to be at least half black, that makes it okay right?

                                                              A real white boy, who grew up in a white neighborhood, and listens to rap, acts black, talks black, ect.. That's a wigger - They aren't racist, they suffering from from a lack of discipline over the years from the parents. A simple snatching up, burning of the cloths and sitting them down to watch reruns of Married with Children solves this problem.

                                                                      I think maybe I wasn't clear in my 1st post, what I would like to know is:

                                                                      Is the person calling another person a "wigger" being racist? Not is the "wigger" being racist.

                                                                      Thanks to everyone who put in their !!
