Yeah, I know. x_x It's because, on another thread, I saw someone say, "What's up, negros?" And no one really seemed to care. So, I decided to write, "What's up, white crackers?" to see if anyone would get upset about that, even though they didn't care about, "What's up negros?" It was unnecessary of me.
Though, interestingly enough, suddenly, "What's up, crackers?" wasn't okay...
burkhartdesu: No, not at all. Being aware of it is necessary, though. Talking about it - dialogues and discussions - promotes understanding and awareness, in my opinion. Although there are a lot of flamers on this thread, maybe someone will read something written here. Maybe someone that didn't know "negro" is offensive to a lot a people knows that now. Maybe someone who didn't know where "nigger" came from knows that now.
For me, this is just about education for everyone - myself included. I like teaching. I love learning.
