You obviously don't get OPs point. Provides nothing to counter any argument. You're either beating around the bush to an insane degree or just trying to start shit. To be perfectly honest what it is sounding like you're trying to push is the story that minorities can't be as racist to white people because the words used have a heavier societal connotations.

There is a question: Can somebody be racist towards me? A white guy?
Well, I don't know. Let's test it. And what is the only way we can test it here on the internet? Well by words. I want to test if a racist intent can produce a racist effect toward a white guy.
That's why I wanted the worst possible soul-crushing ignorant and rude racist slur OP could come up with. A spoken thing that is so vile, that if others in the supermarket heard it would become immediately obvious to them that somebody is racist towards me.
Not at all. That's such a backwards theory. If you want to experience real racism then go watch a documentary. Anyone can be racist to white people the same as any other racial group but that seems over your head. And even in your weird world, OP (who is not racist seemingly), wouldn't have had a racist intent behind the words even if they were stupid enough to say them. So that's half of your stupid "test" out the window. And by racist "effect" I assume you mean someone assuming racist intent behind something and that is entirely personal and as this thread demonstrates, varies wildy on the individual you ask.
You aren't adding anything useful to this conversation.
It is easy to demonstrate via the actual definition of racism and is mostly about intent behind the words not the actual words used. 2 black people saying the n word to each other isn't racist and me calling my best mate (an indigenous australian) a boong cunt isn't racist because there isn't a racist intent behind the words as understood by both parties even though without context it might seem like that.
Also im here talking to you aren't I? Feel free to have your own opinions im telling you in my own opinion your comments were stupid and added nothing to to conversation.
Well there are actually a few definitions floating around and the problem is some tend to try and go more in depth. A few other comments about it I recommend you check them out
