[Emet]

This is a term that has been frequently used in the United Kingdom, from the late ’30s/early ’40s up until today. Over here, it was considered very complimentary in the ’30s and ’40s when applied as a nickname to anyone – it implied someone who was inspiring/motivating. It now has become more liberally used (as opposed to with immediate family/close friends – as in the ’30s) and now implies gentle affection, as in buddy/pal. It is never (and to the best of my knowledge never has been) used as a derogatory term. My grandma used to call my mother Sunshine when singing to her to show how much she meant, and as a declaration of overwhelming maternal love, and as we are a line of Jews with very dark coloring, I don’t believe my grandma would have used this term if it had any racial conotations.
