We must live in totally different worlds because I have never heard it used in any other way.
I've always heard it used in reference to black people in movies, and in any other media related outlet. I've always heard it used it as a way to reference black people that "don't know their place". I can't even think of a circumstance of when another white person would say it to another white person. Unless you're talking about lower class to upper class? And I've read a lot of books and watched a lot of movies and not once have I ever seen or heard it used that way. But I guess there's always a first time...
But, even my cousin was told by his "would" of been girlfriends white mother that he was acting "uppity" for trying to go out with her daughter.
