If I were white, and poor, and an upper middle class person called me cracker, I would be offended. If we were the same class I wouldn't be.

I was outside at work one time and some black guy drove by and yelled "CRACKA!" at me, I laughed, I found it amusing more than anything.

It depends. If my wife and I were joking around or if one of my friends said it I would not be offended.

But if a perfect stranger said that to me then I would be offended and I would tell that person to fvck off.

I would laugh, because by laughing, i take the word's power away. If i got offended, than i give them power.

I called my neighbor a my excellent compatriot, he just stared at me for a bit then went back to rummaging through my garbage cans.

I can honestly say that cracker is the least offensive thing I've seen you call people. It doesn't offend me especially coming from another white guy and I'm the true definition of a cracker. A poor white Georgian.

I'd probably laugh then fire off the appropriate racial slur in a very sarcastic tone.
