How come the ethnic slurs for white people are pathetic?

Cracker, as an ethnic slur, has nothing to do with saltines. A Cracker is a term for a slaver foremen , due to the "crack" of the whip.

Not quite as clean and nice of a term as being reffered to as a tasty snack.

Ah wel, I suppose I was informed by an uniformed person on that one.  Still doesn't insult me in any way considering I view slavery as a dark side of USA history and very contradictory to the nation under which it was founded (All men created equal).  I guess they forgot to mention that certain races and gender didn't really matter at first.

Also socio-economic standing... only land owners were allowed a vote at one time.
