The derogatory words used to describe a white person does not have that heritage, that pass related it. I have yet to see a act (physical apart from just being called whitey) of this "reverse racism".
I do also agree that sometimes the white man is accused a bit to anxiously of being racist. I didn't read the finger joke that everyone is talking about... so can't/wont comment on that.

You may think I am arguing for the sake of arguing, but I am not. I am arguing that the line of reasoning you are using is wrong and it is still an offensive term regardless of the history behind it, or lack thereof
