is the word/phrase 'baby mama' racist?

Anonymous
Baby mama is not racist, but it is derogatory. Any woman can be a baby momma. I do take issue when people refer to a previously married woman as a baby momma. A divorced woman does not fit that description.

It’s very offensive. Don’t you dare use it.

Is “shacking up” still pejorative?

I think these days, baby momma is the most obvious and understood way to refer to a baby momma.

Because BIPOC people are not capable of being racist. Only whites can be racist.

Even if it is not racist, wouldn’t it be a form of cultural appropriation, when used by a white?

All the baby mamas and baby daddies I know are all white southern MAGA conservatives.

Doctor, it's the baby daddy who brought the kid in and he said 3 days.

I don't think medical professionals have never used the terms at work but it would be very unusual and cheesy.


Pediatricians, schools, dentists, etc. routinely refer to everyone as Mom or Dad.

“Please fill out this paperwork, Mom.”

Nobody is calling anyone a Baby Mama in a professional setting. It’s a derogatory term meant to convey illegitimacy and immoral behavior. Despite its common use in urban music/culture, it’s not a good thing. Some subcultural norms are deemed low-class…by those with better judgment.
. I work in a hospital and I have unfortunately heard the phrase used by professionals. In an L&D unit: “It was so peaceful when we had limited visitors due to COVID. The grandmas and baby daddies can sure have a lot of drama…” I don’t use the phrase myself and I plan to speak up to encourage others not to use it either.

Yes, it is used in hospitals. It's descriptive and neutral. Is the man a husband, boyfriend, friend, not-a-friend? He's a baby daddy.

It would be neutral to say “The father of Larla’s baby will be visiting at 2.” “Larla’s partner gave us some important information regarding her health history.” “We’re concerned that Larla may be in a DV (domestic violence) situation with the father of her child” That’s neutral and respectful.

It’s derogatory, not racist. My bro’s baby mama is Puerto Rican. 5 kids, 3 different daddy’s. Glad her child bearing years are finally over. Phew!!

Did you know that hip hip horray! is antisemitic? It's a derivative of "hep, hep" which was a rally cry to attack Jews.

Not everything you read on the internet is true.
