"Don't Call Me White" is a 7" single by NOFX featuring two songs from Punk in Drublic (1994); "Don't Call Me White" and "Punk Guy". The record was limited to 1,500 copies on white vinyl. The band sometimes changes the word white to German: Scheiß (the German word for "shit") during their live shows.[1]

Meaning

When asked in a 1994 interview if the song is about reverse racism, Fat Mike responded saying, "Basically, I'm tired of all these correct terms you're supposed to be calling people now.[2]
