Things Black People Confuse as Racist
- By

“You people”
I know the phrase “you people” to be quite useful to describe a group of folks that share one or more bothersome qualities, like “you people taking up all the space by the subway car door” or “you people who don’t wait till passengers get off the car before boarding” and even “you people who keep sitting on my car.” Annoying people come from all ethnic backgrounds.
While it never looks good when a white person references a group of black people as “you people” it isn’t necessarily a racist statement. What’s wrong with you people?
