It would be a racial remark but I would be annoyed at the whole thing, being called selfish more so than white because white people have never been oppressed by black people, it doesn't carry the same weight as an insult. Also, in that instance it was being used in an aggressive way so I would be offended whether white was in there or not. The example you gave the guy was not using it in an argumentative way and you didn't take as such but you know that you referring to him as "black boy" would have been dodgy enough becaus eof the connotations that has

Also, Firewire, I don't give a **** about those peas, if it was the last bag of spuds though that bitch would be going down
