      Cracker isn’t an epithet that native Americans have ever used though.

      Paleface would be the matching slur to redskin.

        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

          Yes, but that’s the point. They didn’t do that to white people, so white people are in no position to be offended. Including me. Which is why I’m not only not offended, but find that highly appropriate.

            What is happening when white people are like “I’m not offended by this” is to minimize the offense that native Americans feel about the same thing.

            As if to say “I’m not offended, why are they?”

        Me either, but it’s actually meant to be offensive whereas Caucasians is just a classification.
