Context: The guy from h3h3 recently posted his first video in three years attacking his former friend and cohost socialist streamer Hasan Piker. Did I watch it or care? Frick no. I don't really know what the video says but I came across this post where some other streamer points out how the video uses a doctored image from the Destiny subreddit to make a (false) point.
Anyways, the pinned comment I linked is this:
The clip in the post makes no mention of the word cracker, so on top of being aggravating janny "I'm serious" speak it is totally random. The replies to this comment point this out:
Calling someone a cracker isn't racist, but cracker is a racist slur. Or vice versa? It doesn't make sense.
Some people point out how the jannies of this subreddit b-word about flame wars but then pin shit like this which seems to exist purely to cause flame wars.
The janny double-downs and gets showered with downkongs in response.
It's not okay to call someone Ritz instead of cracker because that is racist dog-whistling and just as offensive as saying cracker.
Someone mentions how they're leaving the subreddit and the janny responds cattily. Users point out how the janny felt the need to pin their thoughts on the word cracker when it wasn't asked.
Most of the replies look like this.
The janny says they are a social scientist working in race relations.
"I'm literally getting my PhD in this field. If you want proof, read literally the top most suggested and read book on racial relations printed in the 21st century."
Not white? Could have fooled me...
TL;DR: shut up, cracker

It's a slur, but it's some absolutely b-word made butt slur. If you're actually offended by it keep yourself safe. The only respectable aggression against cracker is reportmaxxing that shit

Its obviously a slur, its just a really fricking lame one.
One "BIPOC" will instantly reverse millions of years of evolution, but "cracker" will devolve into a petty debate over whether or not its even a slur.

Cracker goes back to a 1600s in Britain. Just like everything blacks invented it's just what they learned from the white slave hands

Problem of calling it a slur is you'll have a bunch of trolls going "OH SO WE'RE ALLOWING SLURS NOW?" and masses don't like nuance so you can't say "yes, but just that one" without the community imploding.
That's why people feel the need to redefine words like this.
