The word has many historical definitions, but if you’re on
Urban Dictionnary, you’re probably looking for the word’s “slang” definition.
It’s an offensive term whose purpose is to insult
white people.
The term itself is not an “insult”, like the word “nigger” which originally meant nothing more than “black” without any connotation, but its use and the context of its use has made it an insult over time, just like the word “cracker” we’re talking about.
The term is a source of irrelevant controversy among certain groups who wish to gatekeep the privilege of racial victimization and who resent the fact that ethnicities other than their own can be subjected to racial
insults, and therefore resent the definition of the word “cracker”.
How is this word offensive? It is a socio-racial insult, an insult of class contempt that associates a certain social class with white ethnicity. It shows contempt for the “simple”, “non-fashion”, “unsophisticated” according to their pov.
If said by a
white people, not so common, it will probably only have the class contempt meaning only, otherwise it’s social and racial slur.

- What did you just asked? Hey why don’t you go back where you come from cracker and leave us having a very
thoughtful discussion about “How many Gumball character voice actors uses xyr/xer pronouns and how many seconds do their character appear on the screen in the
last season”.
