It’s not a slur please for the love of god open a history book & stop trying to feel oppressed over a stupid word such as cracker.
If you see the word cracker as a slur in any format then you truthfully need to open up a history book, learn the history about actual slurs, how they formed & how much of an impact they had on people.
The word cracker is a FOOD, it’s not a harmful word it’s hardly an insult, just like the word snowflake, it’s an insult but now a harmful one, it’s simply ppl calling others sensitive in some cases.
You didn’t answer the question tho. What does the author have to do? I never said I expected them to get forgiven I just asked since an apology wasn’t enough what was?
Since I can’t be right look in the c section you’ll find crackers on the list of ethnic slurs
I did answer the question, it doesn’t matter what the author dose, unfortunately the damage is already done. People are going to feel upset, others are going to get on their high houses & defend this behavior while others are going to move on but not forget.
Yeah wiki is your source that tells me enough.
Anybody can put anything on that website, if that said section is not marked to be true in some format then I don’t care
Half of the words on this list aren’t even actual slurs, insults yes but not slurs. Once again open up a history book & learn what slurs actually are

Ok this one ain’t wiki and refers to cracker as a white racial slur
Their are several things wrong with this article
Once again ima simply tell you to open up a history book, cracker is an insult it’s not even towards a specific group of ppl, just like snowflake it’s a way for people to call other sensitive.
Do people use it to insult white people, yes sometimes but that doesn’t make it a slur, the ones being called it aren’t being called it for the reasons you think they are.
OK I’ll admit defeat of that makes you happy lol
It won’t make me happy!! You opening up a history book and learning about actual slurs well.
Don’t get me wrong, the kid shouldn’t have called you the word nor should they have stopped being friends with you just because they were white, but calling words like ABC, Aunt Jemima Aunt Jane, slurs despite them literally names of some peoples actual aunties is not only disrespectful but waters down actual slurs and the heavy history that stems from them.
Hey man most of the vibes here r not it, so I jst wanna go ahead n tell u that I side with u n I feel you fr
literally like i’ve never seen so many people so eager and willing to defend a racist
It makes me sad that everything be has just forgotten how racist the author was, and that everyone has just decided to forgiven and forget. everyone keeps telling us to just move on, but why are we normalizing racism? Why are you telling the victims to move on? That’s the same as telling the victims of sexual assault to get over it, I’ve always started to notice that people tend to never take the side of the victim and always favor the antagonist. no obviously I’m not gonna say that Black people and other people that color can’t be racist to each other, but I feel like the chapter was really unnecessary and it was just no point for it.
