everyone argues about the use of the so-called " n word." if white people have it their way and are supposedly free from what they think are the confines of political correctness, does that mean that these words would re-enter the american vernacular?
first off, I can think of at least 5 I didn't see on this list:
okey_dokes
Ofays
swine
pigs
cave monkey
Afro-Saxon
(North America) A young white male devotee of black pop culture.[30]
Ann
A white woman to a black person — or a black woman who acts too much like a white one. While Miss Ann, also just plain Ann, is a derisive reference to the white woman, by extension it is applied to any black woman who puts on airs and tries to act like Miss Ann.[31]
Bule
(Indonesia) White people. Literally: albino, but used in the same way that 'colored' might be used to refer to a black person to mean any white person. [32].
Charlie
Mildly derogatory term used by African Americans, mainly in the 1960s and 1970s, to refer to a white person (from James Baldwin's novel, Blues For Mr. Charlie).
Coonass or coon-ass
(U.S.) a Cajun; may be derived from the French conasse. May be used among Cajuns themselves
Cracker
(U.S.) Derogatory term for whites, particularly from the American South. Derived from slave drivers who "cracked" the whip on the backs of slaves. [33] May be used by whites themselves in a non-offensive manner.

Gubba

Gweilo, gwailo, or kwai lo (鬼佬)
(Hong Kong and South China) A White man. Gwei means "ghost." The color white is associated with ghosts in China. A lo is a regular guy (i.e. a fellow, a chap, or a bloke).[36] Once a mark of xenophobia, the word was promoted by Maoists and is now in general, informal use.[37]
Honky (U.S.)
Offensive term for a white person.
Ofay
A white person[38]
Peckerwood
(U.S.) a white person (southerner). The term "Peckerwood", an inversion of "Woodpecker", is used as a pejorative term. This word was coined in the 19th century by southern blacks to describe poor whites. They considered them loud and troublesome like the bird, and often with red hair like the woodpecker's head plumes.[39]
