I can't speak for all of Caucasia but I'm not offended.
I think the way it works is someone who is not a member of that group tells you it's offensive
He got it wrong though. The shirt should says "CRACKERS".
Also not offended by this.
Me either, but it's actually meant to be offensive whereas Caucasians is just a classification.
You would be if they had stolen your home and pranced around in a caricature costume of you through the stadium they built after bulldozing your land
Cracker isn’t an epithet that native Americans have ever used though.
Paleface would be the matching slur to redskin.
That works. I couldn't think of pale face at the time, but you got my point.
The problem with the football teams is that usually the name of team is the name of a group of ppl that was almost exterminated and their descendants still pay the price and nobody cares while their name is used as something cool. Just using the name should not be that offensive.
Except redskins is offensive. It's not the name of a group of people, it's an epithet describing them.
It's offensive to gen z victim mentality complex people who want to define themselves through misery.
I will speak to my fellow caucasians and say, "if you're offended, lighten the fuck up, honky."
I can speak for all of Caucasia: no comment
