I think this mostly aply to Americans. I live in Europe and never heard someone refer to their mother by her first name.

Huh? That's the joke. American kids "never" do that either. Hence the face the friend is making in response to hearing it

Well seing Will Smith and the meme saying "white" I thought it's referring to the fact that black parents are stricter and it's unbelievable for a black child to hear someone say that....

I hardly ever heard it. Like maybe a couple times in my whole life in the US.

That's not the norm in the US. They only time I've seen that was when there was some sort of trama

I live in Europe and have one friend who does that. No idea where it stems from, maybe the parents felt they could keep more of a personal identity if they were referred to by their name at home or something
