Frankly, white folk are not the global majority, as many would like to think... East Asians are. Hell, China alone contains roughly 25-33% of the world's population. There are very few (in comparison) caucasians living there permanently, even less blacks, and even less white/hispanics. Then there are the other east asian countries (japan, vietnam, korea(s), phillipines, singapore, hong kong, et cetera...) that also have very skewed populations to the native side.
So, since white people are NOT the majority, then technically we CAN be slighted.
At any rate, I agree with amny previous posts... people are too thin-skinned. They need to get over themselves. If you're a cracker, kike, nigger, chink, spic or any other type of person... do those words really affect you that much? A prominent black man recently said (though i can't for the life of me recall who at the moment) that the fact that being called a "nigger" is such an affront to the black community is part of the reason why racism still happens white on black. If black people didn't CARE, then there wouldn't be any ammunition for the lame-ass racists to use against them.
It's like being in junior high and dealing with the bully. If you cry and cringe everytime he calls your mama a name, or hits you on the shoulder, he's going to keep it up ad nauseum. If you just go with it, eventually he'll get bored and find another target. Why can't adults learn the same lessons that kids do?
