Yeah, no. Calling someone white isn't an "insult", it's a humorous way of calling someone uncultured or saying they're acting like a stereotype.

I call my white friends white for not being familiar with black slang or not knowing how to use chopsticks. It's the same thing as calling a queer friend a fag or a dyke for doing something stereotypically "gay". Since I'm both white and queer and I'm only directing those terms at people who are the same (and are good friends), it's not like I'm levelling something offensive at a stranger.

tl;dr It's a joke, and it's affectionate. If you can't make fun of your friends a little, it's not a very good friendship.

OP: That's... really not the context I'm seeing it used in. My friends don't talk like this. It's mostly call-out posts on Tumblr and such where they're talking about how problematic/offensive white people are, seemingly unaware that they are part of the very group they're talking about.

It's like if I went on a ten minute rant about how vapid and mean women are. It would be very strange since I'm actually a woman.

Oh, I was unaware we were talking about tumblr.

I retract that. It's easiest to assume anyone wanking about race on tumblr is a teen who doesn't have any offline friends and is emotionally unstable. Best to ignore it.

I think it would be more like if a man ranted about how vile men are, which I personally wouldn't find so strange.
I think it makes sense when you're part of a privileged group to recognize how it opresses minorities, and by talking about it, it shows that you are aware of your group's issues.
