language (though that's not a good way)
comments like this tend to be clues for whiteness:
"what's wrong with white people?"
"we're all the human race"
"white rappers get discriminated against in the hiphop community"
"my family never owned slaves"
"i'm not white...i'm (insert some european ethnicity)"

of course, none of these are surefire.

It just BES that way sometimes.

"Men lied about that ---
Some of them cried about that ---
Some of them died about that ---
But everything fightin' about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that ---
It could be a spoonful of water
Saved me from the desert sand
But one spoon of them forty-five
Saved you from another man" -Howling Wolf
