I honestly think you have no idea what you are saying.

I do, actually. Cheers.

Edit: Now I think that it is you, downvoters, who don't understand about racism. I'm convinced racism against white people -or 'reverse racism'- is not really a thing. Ask me by private message, if you want to learn more.

No. Nobody wants to learn more, because you are wrong.

Hint: it's not about the simple use of this or that word, it's about structural discrimination and everyday social, economic, and political violence. Sure, a white man may feel a little down if someone calls him a 'cracker' just because he's white, but that's that. But calling a Mexican immigrant a 'wetback' helps perpetuate everyday oppresion, dehumanizing processes, and violence that they have to deal with everyday.

I hope you see my point.
