Probably because you're not a slave-owner... Honestly, I wonder who would be upset by it in earnest, since those who could actually feel targeted wouldn't give a fugg, lol. 😅
colonizer isn’t even a racial slur, it’s just, like, factually true
but i guess tapeworm-skinned fuckers not accepting uncomfortable facts is nothing new 🤷‍♀️
I've always preferred honky if given a choice of what to be called.
Uncle tom seems out of place in that list

only person i knew who ever got upset about racial epithets for white people was a jews for jesus guy. theoretical jewish heritage (if you want to get really phrenological about it (and you know how reliable that is) his dad and a couple of his siblings had stereotypical aquiline noses. everyone but one of the sisters looked good before we got to personalities, if we're honest)), balls to the wall evangelical prepper doomer end times bullshit everything else. I'm assuming they either had been called or were overly sentitive to slurs toward jews (and i grew up in the California Bay Area, the first time I heard the K-slur was in college), but these kids had sticks up their asses and would whine about being called cracker or whitey by other white kids. which of course, encouraged worse teasing.

I don't get it, crackers are just savoury biscuits?

I questioned it a few years back on reddit and was told it's an old American saying for white people, and its apparently from the sound a whip makes rather than the biscuit.
@javiwhite@feddit.uk had it right, and also it's specifically a derogatory term; the Oxford English Dictionary gives the definition "US English derogatory a contemptuous term for a white person, especially an impoverished white person living in the southern US. Also called poor white"
- Okay, but when I see a relatively small box next to a drink, my first thought isn't "damn, that's referring to a poor white person"
