Are white people really offended by the word cracker?

Question

...or honkey, or whatever cute little racial slurs people bandy about. I think there needs to be a stronger racial slur for white people. Any suggestions?

How about "pasty-pencil-peters" or "whitey-no-***"...see, this is why I need help.

I'm with Chavito...how about "inbred land grabbers" or "pillaging land-rapers"...still not feeling it.

Answer 1

ethnic humor can be hilarious if you're not an idiot with a chip on your shoulder

Answer 2

No, at least no one I know. You're right, none of the above are strong enough. I don't think it would be possible to come up with one--there's so much emotional meaning involved with the 'N' word that just couldn't be evoked by any word invented to insult whites.

But does there really need to be another racial slur for any race?

Answer 3

I don't really care about cracker slang...to me words are only assigned value by people anyway. But there should be a slur for whitey's (at the risk of sounding racist) equivalent to the N-Word for African americans

Answer 4

You know, as a white person, I would have to agree with you. I think I use the word "cracker" on a regular basis because I find it amusing. And "honky" just sounds stupid. So, we really are in need of a more offensive slur. If I think of a word that offends me, I'll let you know. :)



Yeah, definitely something about the lack of a*ss...

Answer 5

Nope. There aren't any "good" white slurs... personally not a whole lot will offend me... I kind of like the "land-grabbing-pillaging-raping" thing... gives me some meaning to my life, ya know?

People need to just get over it.

Answer 6

I'm not really offended by any of those words, but they be because I'm half Greek so I don't look like the kind of white those words are usually directed to and those words are usually directed towards WASP (White Anglosaxen Prodostints).
I usually seem to get coments from stupid people about being black (it was 3rd grade) or being and Iraqy. I don't even look like a person from Iraq. Lebanon or Turkey maybe, but not Iraq.
Oh, anyway none of it bothers me much I hear worse things about, people of Middle Eastern, Jewish, African, Aisan, and Mexican desent.

Answer 7

it is rude to call somebody a cracker. it is rude, nasty and hateful to call somebody a ******. in my opinion, i think of using racial epithets is drained and irrelevant in spite of whom says what to whom. i'm blended, too, yet I won't stand for every person relating me as an 'oreo' -- not extra might I enable a guy call me a *****. i'm no longer able to even fairly say that i could be indignant, yet i think of all of us have so plenty extra going for us that we ought to continually now no longer ought to be pointed out via race or coloration or faith. i'm Jewish; does that propose I ought to shrug off being called a 'kike'? No. this does not make me any much less proud; it basically ability i'm somewhat extra discerning than some approximately what I enable human beings to call me. My call will do basically high quality. don't be responsive to my call? try: the tall female, the clever female or, my well-liked, "what's your call?". Now if a guy or woman upsets me i'm no longer able to assert that his history had something to do with it and can't, hence, experience justified in calling him outdoors of his call in step with that history. His very own features (flaws, in keeping with possibility) provide me all the insults i decide for.

Answer 8

i am not offended by these words, but why do you WANT to invent a racial slur that will offend white people more? that doesn't make sense to me....i thought you would want to get away from racial slurs and racism? people choose what to be offended at.

Answer 9

Not really. If it is said with a lot of hostility I might react, but that would probably be a reaction to the hostility much more than to the word.

A suggestion for a stronger slur....I dunno. I try not to use racial slurs.

Answer 10

I don't think so lol. White people will always have the belief that his race is the "number one" from all the races. This theory is completely untrue, but lot of people unfortunately still believe it...

Answer 11

im not. i call myself a cracker all the time for laughs, but i see how it could be offensive. lthough, its not near as bad as dropping an n bomb at a gangsta rally. that will get you plugged. what i dont get is how black dudes can call other black dudes the dreaded word, but not white people.
