My brain is definitely starting to process "yt" as a racial slur, I only ever get called that when people are trying to dismiss me as bad because of my race

White people thinking that racial slurs work this way is hilarious, I mean I guess it makes sense if you also don't believe systemic oppression actually exists and racism is just defined only as overt racism, aka slurs. Yeah I guess I can understand why you would think this.

I think that using a pejorative term to dismiss or insult somebody based on their race is a racist thing to do. This has nothing to do with my belief in systemic oppression

yt (and similar) became a thing when facebook started censoring posts that mentioned white people, not as a fun new slur. it's as much as a slur as plain old white is lol

I don't think so, at least not based on the way I've heard it used. You know how a term can pick up connotations based on repeated context? For me I only ever get referred to as 'yt' when people are insulting me, and never in normal or casual conversation.

I'm apparently super sheltered, never heard that usage. Would have assumed it's an abbreviation for youtube without context.
