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 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
