Right... it's a very specific type of behavior.
Like, for example...
If white males were notorious for flapping their arms when scared, and this behavior was both extremely common and totally exclusive to this one race, would it be racist or simply an observation of reality if someone called it the "white fright"?
Person 1: "what's wrong with that guy? Something wrong with his arms?"
Person 2: "No, white fright."
Should using such a colloquialism be characterized as racist? Or just, "the way it is"?
