cringe origin story
i'm not gonna lie i used to get mad when i got called a cracker as a little kid because i'm mixed race but really light skinned. i felt like i was having my admittedly small (1/4) black heritage denied and lumped in with the WASPy oppressors even though the euro side of my family was immigrants from potato land anyway. now idgaf but woo wee that shit used to get me shaking when i was like 10 at the bus stopI feel like that's sort of fair in a way? It's like having your actual heritage denied.
yeah, i reckon this is the only time you can be offended by being called a cracker - because you're not one and you're having your actual identity denied
