    cracker was originally a term for load Irish people , then a term for poor farmers, then generally just white people.

    Unfortunately much like the term “gringo” many of us take it as a term of endearment rather than an insult.

    All of that is why cracker isn’t as offensive of the n word.

    Likewise cunt isn’t as offensive as the n word either.
