Do you get offended by being called a cracker?
 

Does any white person?

Crackers.

only canadians

Don't think I have ever been called one.
















I am sure by the end of this thread someone probably will though.

doesn't bother me.. I'm kind of like a RITZ though cuz I got a nice tan :1orglaugh

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!! I LOVE SPECIAL ED!!!!!!!!

I've never understood that term and why it should be offensive to white people.

it doesnt offend me, it makes me laugh

no

Hardly...you can call me honky or cracker or whatever you want...just don't call me late for dinner

I'm offened by white person.. I'd prefer whitey, honkey or fellow person of less color.

Any term proclaiming my whiteness is a positive in my mind. To be acknowledged as white is aye okay with me. :thumbsup

Why should I be ashamed? White and proud, say it loud.

i dont care. There really is no rip for being white. It's like making fun of the fonz for being cool :thumbsup

I'd really like to know why it's considered insulting, though...

Seems like no one thinks it is.

i prefer honky

Fuck you cracker!!!





See it isn't.

it's because most white people don't have any issue with being white

I have found the etymology of the insult Cracker as applied to white southerners...

cool read actually.

First time i ever heard it i was in the California Youth Authority doing time and some Black kid Mumbled Cracker at me i guess...we were going to chow and lets see i was one of 3 whites in a line of 50..

i wasnt offended, being a skinhead in those days there was much more things to get offended over...

ohh..blue eyed devil took me back for a sec..but i actually enjoyed that one

cracker ass crackers!

So what makes someone become a skinhead? Ignorance? The way they were raised?

Both being Poor and Proud!...

i hated the ghettos, so i learned the only way to get out was not beating ppls asses anymore but money..ive made so much money now i live in a very white and wealthy area..i drive brand new cars so now COPS dont target me with profiling...

I imagine I would be offended if someone called me a cracker. It hasn't happened yet though.:glugglug

You can call me whatever the fuck you want. Sticks & Stones and all that crap.

I'm Polish. Know how to confuse a pole? Put him in a round room and tell him to pee in the corner.

Lol. It sure isn't. :)

Smoke my pole, cracker!

So if a cracker is a white person, and someone says "hey cracker", that's like saying "hey white person"

Why would that be offensive to a white person?

I love to call black people cracka! Wassup Cracka!

They are usually stunned!

Not if you call me a cracker sugar pop :Graucho

:thumbsup very good point.

Fucking polaks..

if it was a joke no, But I would be offended by a raciest attack just as anyone would , just if you take me downtown like that, you better be ready for the come back to your own race in my reply.
