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

i'm not disagreeing that ppl are using it when they are insulting you, i'm just saying that i'm sure people use the actual word white as a pejorative as much as they do yt. and i was around in poc fb groups when yt became a thing so wiki is incorrect re: origins.

Agree on this origin story— “white” was being flagged and yt was a standin much like s3x or other strange spellings. I saw it happen live in my feeds— seems the flagging of “white” on Fb has calmed down a bit but the shorthand stayed on.
