According to George, AfroAmericans have a description for EuroAmericans who pat African-Americans on their heads, if it seems to be based on racial perceptions: patty | paddy.

[edit] Paddy, meaning tantrum
There is evidence of this meaning here:
- Origin of "Having a paddy" / "In a paddy"?
- http://my.telegraph.co.uk/livingoddess/june_2007/having_a_paddy.htm
I accept that these are not Wikipedia:Reliable sources, but there are 14,400 Ghits for "having a paddy" so it seems sufficiently notable to include it here. It's certainly old enough not to be a neologism. - Fayenatic (talk) 19:55, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
