    Living in Appalachia - around here, ‘cracker’ may not be even near the equivalent of the n-word, but it’s also definitely not a kind term.

      Yeah I was gonna ammend that with “well that’s probably because of the enormous amount of de jour privilege and honestly segregation that I’ve lived with because I’ve heard in some places people can actually be serious about it”. Lemmygrad is for sure one of those strange places where it can be serious, wouldn’t be surprised by black Isrealites being on there or something.

        It’s edgy kids doing it, many of whom are white themselves. They form a worldview that’s nothing but a reverse image of 19th century White Supremacy - only instead of white people being the only bringers of good, white people are the only bringers of evil. It denies the agency of communities of color and, predictably, ignores or denigrates the experiences of mixed-race folk.

            They definitely use the same terminology. Mostly because they think any form of anti-white sentiment is inherently funny and laudable, same essential reason why 4chan back in the day was so fond of the n-word, just a different target.
