As a white person I never could get offended by the name other races call us.
I mean cracker? Lol why yes I am a cracker but am I saltine or rites OH can I be a club cracker I love those.
O gringo. Green go where? Where did the green go?
And the list goes on. I don't think I ever found one that did offend me.
Still silly. Lol o and names like redneck, trailer trash, hillbilly, white trash, aren't insulting either.
If someone came up to me and called me a stupid white trash piece of shit. I would of been only offended by being called stupid. But that is due to being dyslexic and having people think I am stupid when I actually am not is something I don't like. But not even piece of shit insults me.
Here's another fun one:
One possible origin for "Red Neck" come from a coal miner rebellion. The resistance fighters wore distinctive red bandanas tied around their necks. Those that intervened referred to the fighters as the Red Necks.
This one's not so fun, but it's interesting:
Cracker is supposedly derived from the hated overseers on plantations, who were called crackers because they were always cracking whips.
if you are offended by this then do not go on the internet because if you find this offensive then you probably find the sun offensive for making you out to be darker
I've seen people who are " white passing " it even just Asian/Hispanic get called crackers because they aren't " POC enough " so it's not just a white people problem

Being taken for a white person must be horrible, I imagine. Would that mean to pay the whitey upcharge for weed? Not being welcome at basketball and twerking crew? Be suspected to have a small dick?
It's pretty rude when people call you out of your race on purpose. Especially just because you don't agree with them or " aren't dark enough ". It has nothing to do with the stereotypes you so kindly brought up, but basically people saying you're " too white " for the race that you actually are and get discredited because of it.
You don't have anything you need to apologize for, all you did was try to bring some laughter. I cannot speak for this other person however as most comment sections I encounter them they always have an attitude about us all usually agreeing with eachother and not them as if we're wrong for that.
@diyrogue sorry, I didn't get your point. I agree, it must suck to be called "not poc enough" when it's just to be put down in an argument. You kind of missed my point as well though, as I was clearly referring to whites being called crackers, expressing that reverse racism is just a meaningless word, as long as being white doesn't mean to be victim of any real consequence. Which is what the nation of internet calls a white peoples problem, like when Starbucks runs out of pumpkin spice.
Mainly here " as I was clearly referring to whites being called crackers, expressing that reverse racism is just a meaningless word, as long as being white doesn't mean to be victim of any real consequence " it seems like you're either saying reverse racism isn't a Hing it racism against whites isn't real and I'm a little confused at which you're trying to say.

Non-white racism against whites may pose a problem to certain people. Mainly the whiny, special snowflake kind. To compare it to white racism against non-whites is just ludicrous and a gross insult to those who are or have been victims of real racism. What are the possible consequences of being a white, facing anti-white racism in a society dominated by whites? Mild discomfort at worst. It's hurting personal feelings, but doesn't affect career perspectives and personal safety. And it's funny how many people complain against "reverse racism" who otherwise have no problems when it comes to "edgy" jokes and like to facebook-fight against the "choke-hold of excessive political correctness". Racism isn't just not liking someone, it has grave consequences. Name one (1) grave consequence reverse racism may have on a white person. I dare you.
Isn't racism both ways? It's not "non-white racism," or "black racism". It's just racism. Don't be racist towards any race. Just be kind and don't be a cunt, friends

Hehe, a click on that thumb down button is a pretty strong argument. Well, the strongest you got anyway...
Okay SO, racism is racism despite who does it and who receives it. Black people are racist against other black people and white people are racist against other white people.
" What are the possible consequences of being a white, facing anti-white racism in a society dominated by whites? Mild discomfort at worst " Have you been watching the news lately ? College kids are pretty much holding a building hostage until they get what they want. A white mentally handicapped dude was tortured on a live stream for being white and it took police FOREVER to count it as a hate crime. Also, at another college people are getting doxxed and harassed for going to class when they wanted white people out just for being white. Hell, even BLM people on Twitter claim they want white genocide and to kill white people. When someone says something they don't like ? They dox them and take it to the extreme and MANY people have been fired from jobs because they said ONE thing and didn't grovel at their feet

Ok, I see, so this short dozend remotely relevant cases is pretty much the same as what non-white people are experiencing? So I guess People probably can get maimed and killed by nerf guns too.
What made me think it made any sense to start this debate in the first place?
Because it's a great comparison. White->black racism has a disastrous influence on millions of people and is hurting society like a shotgun. It's not just a few psychopaths doing spectacular heinous crimes to individuals. It's the huge part of white america that will not rent that flat or give that job to a black person, who think it's a "black thing" to live on welfare, sell drugs and rob (white) people. Basically it's super racists to assume that racism is more or less over, because that would only leave an inherent blemish in black persons as possible reason why black people die younger, get shot and incarcerated many times over whites.
Black->white racism also has these few black psychopaths acting out against whites just for being white. Just by numbers this is most probably less cases than the other way round. But there's definitely no systemic problem for white people here. That's like a nerf gun to society.
IF IT OFFENDS SOMEONE, THEYLL PROBABLY GET OVER IT
I mean cracker? Lol why yes I am a cracker but am I saltine or rites OH can I be a club cracker I love those.
O gringo. Green go where? Where did the green go?
And the list goes on. I don't think I ever found one that did offend me.
A protest chant was "Green go home," referring to the uniforms. This was shortened to Green go and eventually to Gringo.
If someone came up to me and called me a stupid white trash piece of shit. I would of been only offended by being called stupid. But that is due to being dyslexic and having people think I am stupid when I actually am not is something I don't like. But not even piece of shit insults me.
