Palefaces.
A question from a classmate of mine:
"I am thinking about the ways in which white people are racialised in American literature and am considering traditionally pejorative terms for them. But not being American, I'm not 100% about the full connotations of some of these terms. I was thinking about "bubba", "white bread", "honky", "ofay", "clay eater" and "mean whites". I'm not in too much doubt about "white trash"...although I imagine most of these are pretty disparaging."
Anyone want to help with defining these? And thinking of some others? There's 'cracker', but what else?

Miles Davis's autobiography might be a good place to start looking. Yohei
