It’s been called to my attention that some people find the phrase “RBP” (that’s ‘regular black people’ for anyone new to the blog) offensive. Ironically, many of the RBP who find RBP offensive don’t mind using the n-word in casual conversation.
But anyhoo.
Just like affirmative action and Title IX, I’m of the equal opportunity ilk and I’d like to find a phrase that carries the same punch, but stings less. I’ve listed some suggestions below. Please vote on them to let me know what works.
What do you think? Any other suggestions to add?

Pahaha, I don’t care that RBP are butthurt over the use of the phrase. It’s true! We’re an exception to the norm. I think we should keep the phrase. Besides, for all intents and purposes, we should consider oreo, coconut, and twinkie insulting, but we embrace them. ๐
I’d say “The Caucasianally Challenged,” but that could just as easily refer to Inuits.
I think “The Other” encapsulates that whole failure to assimilate thing really well.
Tyler Perry Advocates is painfully funny. Maybe call them Flintstones? That’s light hearted and fun. Maybe a zany sound effect like a Boing or an AWOOOGA.
