Whitey (slang)
"Whitey" is a slang term for a white person, often used in a pejorative manner. The level of contempt implied by the term varies, but one of the more severe pejorative examples is shown by the "Kill Whitey" tattoo on the cheek of New Black Panther Party member Maruse Heath.
During Barack Obama's 2008 US Presidential campaign, a hoax was promoted that his wife Michelle Obama had been recorded "railing against 'whitey'", which she denied, saying, "That’s something that George Jefferson would say." In Saturday Night Lives notorious 1975 "Word Association" skit, Richard Pryor's character uses "whitey" as his response to Chevy Chase's character's prompt of "negro".
