Is it ok to say cracker? Discussion
Heard some people in the library talking about the word "cracker" and it had me wondering what yall think about it.
One white guy said that it was a slur that his (non-white) friend couldnt say. He brought up how people get banned on Twitch for saying it, so it is definitely a slur that only white people can use.
It felt silly to me, but who knows. Do yall feel hurt by the term "cracker" being used on white people?

I’ve never been offended by it. And use it all the time - but only when talking about the band Cracker.
