Honestly I find whitelists to be an… odd way of phrasing it. There’s a reason most programmers have moved to block and allow lists. Don’t really care about crackerlist, but I find it odd that they’d still use the naming conventions of white and black lists. Changing white to cracker doesn’t make whitelists any less weird.
No idea how they give two shits about the word cracker when there is obviously a bigger issue.
If being called cracker makes someone disinterested in socialist policy then they weren’t open to changing their views in the first place
Literally nobody but racist crackers care about “slurs” for white people, it doesn’t hurt and may in fact help in the most minuscule of ways because it’s funny watching white identitarians malding about make-believe oppression
I won’t use it and I’m not white.
Looking for a pat on the head or somethin?
9/10 crackers do not ruminate in fear and dehumanization when they’re called that because there is no policy - historical or present - to oppress them as a group of people. Rarely do people say it with complete malice and desire for violence - it’s often said lightheartedly because everyone knows that the dynamics are just completely imbalanced. At worst they’ll be annoyed for 30 seconds and forget about it.
Hell, I’d argue honkey and redneck are more “offensive” because it’s a slur for poor white people, and this subgroup has and is still being targeted by the state today. But crackers don’t want to talk about class, even when it’s them who’s suffering.
