Paddy wagons“poor white trash” or “white trash”
“half strainer”
both terms originated from the house slaves.
“poor white trash” described the masses of poor, illiterate, and shiftless whites of ethnic and scots irish backgrounds that lived in abject poverty in the country that the house slaves looked down upon in scorn and derision.
“half-strainer” was a term of derision that the house slaves used to describe middle class whites like doctors or lawyers that lived in town centers that tried to affect the speech, manners, and ways of the landowning english-descended aristocrats. because the house slaves lived with their masters, they were intimately familiar which the ways and mores of upper class whites, being raised up in that environment themselves and was able to quickly detect whites that were “faking the funk”. the middle “funk fakers” were dismissively called half-strainers.

Rule of thumb
yeah ricky gervais steve merchant and karl pilkingtons podcast put me on that.
ie.
"dont let the cat out the bag" (coming from when crocked traders would swap a bag of meat for a cat)
"giving him the cold shoulder" (the cold part of the pork when an unwanted houseguest stays to long)

let me guess little black babys getting thrown to aligators. they used to print them on school lunch boxes smdh.
I thought so too since i grew up speaking french. I guess it's up for debate but i doubt the word's origin has anything to do with race. Now has it been adapted and used as such in the US? Possible.
Even French Wikipedia denounces the whole racial take on it in the U.S. as false but hey... You can believe what you wanna.
I'll translate some of the key parts. As you can see the components of the word (pique and nique) are defined and dont agree with @BlackDiBiase's assessment especially since the word "negro" in french is "nègre".
I know a lot of words are racist words invented to target black people. But i often find that some people try a little too hard digging every word trying to make it something it's not.

This is interesting. Did house slaves really have it better than poor whites? I always thought it was the opposite.
I've read about this but i need some concrete credible sources for when i argue with people. If you can share some links of reputable sources. When i go to war i wanna make sure i have the ammo.
Not gonna search it at work, but there is plenty. Jim Crow museum, Miami Sun times, etc. We even have Anerican postage depicting this, official postage
