How about "Graham Cracker" instead

[edhopper]

It's not a homophobic slur, and it fits this Southern white asshole.

1. I love it, but just "cracker" is easier for me...

Anyway, here's the REAL Lady G:

2. Aha..."cracker" could be seen along the lines of "trailer trash" which is pretty damaging to poor...

...white people. Or "white trash" same thing.

Here is a really good article on "cracker";

Personally I've always loved the way Chappelle says it:

3. I thought any white racist

is a cracker.

5. White Racist Cracker individual - yes I suppose.

But cracker gets used a lot on poor white, mostly rural, people that are not racists. It is a colloquialism in the South and an ethnocentric slang used with poor white rural people.

I thought we were supposed to not use all encompassing word to denigrate people?

That said I am white and have used to term to describe white people that I know to Black people I know.

I am bad about using derogatory, probably wrong, language when describing conservative and racist white people.

That said if we started calling Lindsey or "Lady G" "Graham Cracker" the reverse racism shit would fly all over the place.
