White person 1: I don’t care if people call me a cracker.
White person 2: But you should because it’s racist!! It’s like calling a black person the n-slur!!!
A cracker is a term for a white person. Some think it is offensive, but most just take it as the joke it should be. Because of the cracking sounds of whips. Or because crackers are pale. But a ritz cracker or half cracker is is biracial person, half African American and half Caucasian
The slur cracker comes from the 1800’s when American slave owners would whip their slaves. The sound of the whip made a cracking sound, and because of their low intelligence at the time of the majority, they referred to their master’s behind their backs as cracker
