Totally, try not to be too douchy it about it though and don't be offended if they call you Gringo.

And be sure to grab some tacos from the nearest street vendor. (you haven't had a great taco until you've bought one from a scary looking metal cart on the side of the road in Mexico.)

I've dreamed of being called gringo all my life. Cracker has become stale. I just wish black people still said honky. How offensive is gringo supposed to be? Is it on the same level as puta, cabron, or maricon?

It's kinda like the equivalent of cracker, honky and foreign all into one.

Im not sure why you would pay for diarrhea. :p:

But how offensively should I take it? Cause if a black guy calls me a cracker, it's generally all in good fun. And nobody has used honky since George Jefferson.

idk dude it's all in the context and the attitude in which it is said.

usually it's not meant to be that hurtful, it's just a slight jab at your ethnicity, so just be cool if someone says it you and don't make it a big deal.

I've been called it a lot and from multiple different people and it was never meant offensively.

The 2 ladies I used to open boxes with at the Gap
A couple friends
Some of the guys I shot pool with at a Spanish bar
My cousin's wife's family

I feel like if it's meant to be offensive you will know.

i've had people shout it at me from moving cars

they certainly intended to offend me

at the time, they did. cause i was young and eager for approval.it wasn't like i was offended at the term cracker. i just resented having to be white.

but as an adult i don't really care about the term because its silly. even if it's intended maliciously i'll only get a chuckle out of it.

I see what you did there.

Never gotten sick off of TJ street food.

*knocks on nearest wood*

I wouldn't worry if they say "cracker," but if they say "cracka" — yeah, you should take offense.

there are black people i knew in florida who refer to police officers in general as crackers even if they're black

Don't worry about what we do ,white oppressor.

I could look it up, but for the sake of argument, I might as well ask here.

I get that cracker is slur for white people, but what is it supposed to mean? Is it literally a reference to the kind of crackers you eat or is it something else?

I would find it hard to be offended by a word which I don't know what means or refers to.

Im not sure the actual origin of the term cracker.Wheter its rooted in jive,or from the Jim Crow days.I doubt its old enough to date back to the cotton picking days of old.Im willing to bet its not a cracker you eat as well.I shall query at our tri annual BLACK PEOPLES CONNVENTION!

It's like being called a chair or a battery .. the most offensive thing about it is how little offensive it is, like you're not worth the effort of real maliciousness.

I've heard cracker explained as slavemaster. The whip "cracker" aka oppressor.

no one asked you whitey.

The white man screwed over my ppl too.

This. Not really an insult if they're technically calling you master.

That was kinda my thought too .. poor american white folks who'd have to be reminded of a time when their ancestors might have owned people who did labor for them.

I don't find being called "black" offensive. I'm a paper-white Norse boy, though.

Well, in this case they're implying that you're a terrible person. Hitler was a master in Nazi Germany, and calling someone Hitler is pretty offensive.

A terribly rich person. I'll take it.

And how would you propose to motivate unpaid workers? Huh? Don't judge till you've walked a mile in their shoes.

Mang who is you lying too? You are Puerto Rican.Shut your mouth and hold these blanketz filled. with cholera.

someone in my class was trying to sound compassionate by explaining that if he were a slavemaster back in the day he wouldn't beat his slaves, he'd basically treat them like workers he paid with food and housing. on some uncle tom's cabin ****. it was one of those amusingly awkward white guilt moments.

i pressured him a bit and started asking him what he would do if his slaves decided they wanted to leave his property and go pursue a life of freedom. but he was too stubborn to be moved. so i kept pressuring him to beat his imaginary slaves or at least question his certainty in what kind of morals he would have if he were born in a different place and time with different social pressures and influences shaping his perspective of right vs wrong behavior.

my teacher was a black dude with a decent sense of humor and he ended the back and forth by interjecting "well, all already know what brandon (me) would do." :laughing:

Yeah, while everyone else is beating each other, you'd be beating yourself. :yeah:

Remember this thread? I think we almost made WD's brain explode.

same, but as a matter of fact, I benefit from the systematic oppression of other races, which isn't cool at all.

so I'm a little conflicted.

I'm most certainly not conflicted. I might feel a bit guilty when I can be bothered, but at no point in my life have I ever wanted to trade places with them. Sorry actual Africans. I like my home not to be in the middle of a starving, civil war-ravaged, rape zone.

well yeah

I don't want to trade places but I also wish that the comfort of being white wasn't a result of the discomfort of people who are anything other than white.

I also wish there weren't shitty places in the world where people are starving, getting shot for existing, getting raped for whatever reason, and blowing themselves up for Allah or whatever.

but what can you do?

nothing.

Watch videos of fat people falling down?

the moral of the story:

If NASA can see your ass from space, you have a problem. But not as much of a problem as you've got if you're a hamplanet with a bicycle.

Ok, you white and came in a fancy ship, i think i can trust you.

Ahh, i see you eyeing my daughter Mucho booty, why don't you sleep with her a f*ck up our gene pool!? :mad:

F*cking spaniards.. >_>

If by fancy ship you mean being white enough to be in the house instead of the cotton field. Get your facts straight bro. I am light skinned.

most of your people fell out cause they had no resistance to our superior old world diseases

so blame god/evolution for that one

oh no hes as native as J.Lo. Dont let him lie to you...

What, you think the spanish have inferior genes? Or is it that you'd like to keep your race "pure"?

Tsk.

First it's our fault that we got their diseases and now apparently we can't even refuse to sleep with them without being racist.


Get your facts straight bruh, Born and raised in PR. :cool:
