Indeed, I was having a hard time coming up with such a term.  Even what 
I could remember of the movie Undercover Brother was failing me.  Lots 
of terms for "The Man" aka "Whitey" aka "Honky McGee", but nothing for 
white people in general.  Even Wikipedia is failing me.  All I can find 
(with an admittedly cursory search) is "Whitey", "Cracker", and some 
terms used by non-African Americans such as "gaijin", "haole", or 
"gringo", and some terms from a century or two back such as "peckerwood".
