No. It is a comical old word. It seems to be more upsetting to Southerners. If it upsets old Southerners then I love it!

No, because I'm not one. I am white though. Hell, I'll call my fellow whites crackers if they're ignorant and trashy.

I am 47, have tons of black friends, and have never heard them use this word. So if they do, it's not in my presence, and therefore doesn't offend me.

22:35 again. thinking about what would offend me and the word honky came to mind. Which also isn't a hugely powerful word in the scheme of things.
But I interpret it as more broadly applied. If someone called me a honky I'd give it more pause than cracker.

No. They are impervious to jokes like that.

I like
Cracka
White Trash, not poor white trash
White devil
Trailer trash is okay
Don't like honky but laugh when I see it on a tattoo
Rarely offended but rarely hear the above terms.

It's offensive when used as an insult. Obviously if you are actually talking about real crackers that you eat, no one takes offense. But if someone called me a cracker -- a term I never even heard until I was in my 20s and moved south to DC, by the way -- I would be horrified. I would never think to call anyone by a race-related slur and I would not expect it from others. Now if someone called me an asshole, that's different -- equal opportunity!
