Very common term.

High Yellow
Race: Blacks
Light-skinned black person. Adjective, generally used by blacks in describing blacks with a light complexion



Also from this list --- something I have said for years on here that nobody has ever taken seriously ----
Geechee
Race: Blacks
Specifically a derogatory term referring to the Gullah culture of African ex-slaves on the Atlantic coast of South Carolina/Georgia/Northern Florida.


Some of the worst fights I ever saw as a kid was when a black kid called another black kid a "Geechee". That was a term you never, ever used unless you were prepared to fight. Even worse than N-word. But on here (and other places), people use it like no big deal, which has always been really strange to me.

I guess racist slurs are regionalized more than we know.
