We were at a coffee shop the other day. There were 4 of us - me, my friend who is a white american, a Chinese-American and a Korean man. While my self-proclaimed-American-bum friend was talking, a Korean man behind us told him to lower his voice in Korean because he was too loud. My so called self-proclaimed-American-bum friend got all furious and fired back with, "Kiss my white ass, you yellow monkey!". I'm now wondering whether I should keep him as a friend or leave him. What do you think? Did he show his true side the other day or did he just say it out of anger?

I'd let him go simply for talking too loud.

As an Asian guy, I could never understand a whitey married to a Korean gal who flippantly calls the Chinese chinks and the Japanese japs. I feel sorry for the women married to these bastards.

European descent

Afro-Saxon
(North America) A young white male devotee of black pop culture.[37]

Ann
A white woman to a black person � or a black woman who acts too much like a white one. While Miss Ann, also just plain Ann, is a derisive reference to the white woman, by extension it is applied to any black woman who puts on airs and tries to act like Miss Ann.[38]

Bule
(Indonesia) White people. Literally: albino, but used in the same way that 'colored' might be used to refer to a black person to mean any white person. [39].

Charlie
Mildly derogatory term used by African Americans, mainly in the 1960s and 1970s, to refer to a white person (from James Baldwin's novel, Blues For Mr. Charlie).

Coonass or coon-ass
(U.S.) a Cajun; may be derived from the French conasse. May be used among Cajuns themselves

Cracker
(U.S.) Derogatory term for whites, particularly from the American South. Derived from slave drivers who "cracked" the whip on the backs of slaves. [40] May be used by whites themselves in a non-offensive manner.

Gringo
(The Americas) Non-Hispanic U.S. national. Hence Gringolandia, the United States; not always a pejorative term, unless used with intent to offend.[41]

Gubba
(AUS) Aboriginal (Koori) term for white people[42] � derived from Governor / Gubbanah
Gweilo, gwailo, or kwai lo (鬼佬)
(Hong Kong and South China) A White man. Gwei means "ghost." The color white is associated with ghosts in China. A lo is a regular guy (i.e. a fellow, a chap, or a bloke).[43] Once a mark of xenophobia, the word was promoted by Maoists and is now in general, informal use.[44]

Honky (U.S.)
Offensive term for a white person.

Haole
(Hawaiian) stranger. used to refer to a mainlander, a white person.

Ofay
A white person[45]

Peckerwood
(U.S.) a white person (southerner). The term "Peckerwood", an inversion of "Woodpecker", is used as a pejorative term. This word was coined in the 19th century by southern blacks to describe poor whites. They considered them loud and troublesome like the bird, and often with red hair like the woodpecker's head plumes.[46]

Roundeye
(English speaking Asians) a white or non-Asian person.[47]

Wigger
is a slang term for a white person who allophilically emulates mannerisms, slangs and fashions stereotypically associated with urban African Americans; especially in relation to hip hop culture.

Your probably racist too and don't even know it. https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/

And I would say that this guy isn't really your friend, if your thinking of letting him go because of it. If I found one of my friends was a racist, sure I wouldn't be cool with it, but it's just another character flaw in my opinion unless they're going out killing people or something.

but...was he talking too loud?

twice now (in less than two months in country) i have lived thru examples of such. the korean doesn't want to hear us so tells us to pipe down. but we weren't loud. we weren't drunk. it was just like a elder telling an inferior to hush.

Not that I agree with the terms Chinks and Japs, but is calling everyone not Korean a foreigner or waygukin any better?

Went to a hof last night where they have a girl outside calling down tables. When she announced that we were coming, she made sure to say 'waegukin'. Then we took a taxi to a hotel that we were unsure of. The taxi driver called the number to get directions and started the conversation, "I've got these two foreigners..."

At this point I laugh but there have been times it's pissed me off.

I'm willing to bet the K-wife calls both worse names. Rolling Eyes BTW, props on the use of 'whitey' and 'honkies', you 'bastard'. Rolling Eyes ...Really sells your 'point'.

Whether or not he was talking too loud is besides the point. Why do we always get racist apologists turning the argument?

I never understand when Koreans with blue jeans, cosmetics, cell phones, televisions, t-shirts, bottled water, double eyelids, eyeglasses, tennis shoes, laptop computers, ice cream, wristwatches, and coffee bad-mouth "foreigners."

For a first offence, I chalk it up to anger or frustration or perceived persecution from the ajosshi. Especially since he yelled it at the guy. If he does this on a regular basis, or even infrequently, that''d be different.

Me, I'd just as soon shoot off a quiet "싫어" and go back to my conversation.
