Definitely reaching, some people use buddy, some use bud, some use dude, man, bro, bruh, brah, etc.

My greek friend always says buddy in his strong greek accent

 

[blacklion23]

Can't recall anyone ever saying that to me. Can't say I'd be offended if someone did.

Are you Canadian by any chance?

C'mon son how are you gonna say you're not racist when the next 8 words are blantley racist

 

[Deleted member 38307]

^ Yep

Your avy is creeping me out

 

[sofa king awsm]

you're reaching, champ.

 

[boris]

People have different ways of acknowledging strangers that they encounter. 

 

[sup doe]

relax, pal. definitely reaching.

 

[lil dre 08]

I think it's reaching if you feel that it is racist when white people use it because buddy is not a racial slur or derogatory.

However there has been one occasion where a white person has said "bro" to me before and I could definitely tell he was being racist with how he was using it and how he confronted me. He definitely wanted to call me something else, but that is just one occasion and I have never had a problem with anyone else that was white saying that to me though.

How was it said to you OP?

[the great shark]

Depends on tone+expression. You can tell when it's genuine or a sarcasm shot.

 

[bearclawd]

Don't think it's racist, but usually think people are not taking me seriously/sarcastic when they say "buddy"

I've been called buddy before and i'm half white and look white so i don't think it's a race issue. Some people just say it like it's dude or bro, etc. I hate when someone calls me boss or guy.

 

[00david00]

weird

 

[azul rolex]

Take it easy big guy

Calm down brah

You okay pal?

Troubled friend?

 

[after the dance]

You sort of have to elaborate as to *why* you think it's potentially racist. I thought that sort of went without saying? 

 

[championboyz7]

Be cool boss

 

[pepperjackchees]

You're overthinking this, homeskillet.

 

[tony montana]

[norcalhussla]

Don't worry about it, sport.

 

[shotsrangout]

Some of y'all are way too sensitive.

 

[pabstblueribbon]
