But there's one thing that always holds true.
I'm a normal, white guy. Yet, for some magical reason, I CAN'T be offended at anything a gay guy, or a black guy says to me. At least that's what everyone thinks.
Especially that cracker term. Everytime someone calls me a cracker I just...I'm sorry...It's just hard for me...But when I hear that...that word...I feel white...and insignificant...like the something to be dipped into soup...or have some cheese put on...but not good enough to be eatten on my own.
Hell, even on national TV. Watch Dave Chepelle's show. Cracker is mentioned a lot. Also on Snoop Dogg's show.
Now, if say a white comedian, like Jimmy Kimmel, were to call a black person a nigger in some skit, there'd be TONS of people jumping down his throat.
You can't pick and choose who's offended and who's not, who can be protected and who can't, because choosing some here and some there just makes you a hypocrate.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
