[h=1]As compensation for racism, minorities get to say words that make some White People uncomfortable.[/h]That's how it is. It's not nearly adequate compensation, in fact it's so minor and insignificant that even using the word "compensation" is a bit silly. But the reason that minorities get to use words like that whereas it is not acceptable for white people to use the n-word is because white people are advantaged, whereas black people and other minorities are institutionally discriminated against.
Dear white people: deal with it. It has zero effect on your life. You will almost certainly go your entire life without being called a "wypipo" to your face, and if it happens, you can just ignore it and you'll be just fine. You only heard about it because some racist on twitter got outraged. It's much more advantageous in our society to be a white person who is occasionally made uncomfortable by the term "wypipo", than a black person that gets to use "wypipo" to describe racism that they experience.
In fact, not only will you never be hurt by a black person using the word "wypipo", overall, even minorities will subconsciously treat you better than other minorities because everyone in our society, including minorities, is ingrained with implicit preferences towards white people (and men, and straight people, etc.). There is extensive research on this.
A black person using the word "wypipo" isn't personally insulting you or personally calling you a racist. Having said that, you are racist. Yes, you. Even if you don't object to "wypipo", you are still racist. You may not be aggressively or overtly or consciously racist, but you do exhibit racial biases that have been ingrained in you by society since you were an infant.
If reading the word "wypipo" makes you feel uncomfortable, boo-hoo. Instead of posting something furious on the internet about it, how about instead you examine your own implicit racial biases, which I guarantee you have. You're not going to get rid of them, but maybe you can be more aware of them and lessen their effect on your behavior. That would be a positive way of channeling your comfortableness.
