No.  I want white people to not be offended because cracker doesn't really mean anything.   It's like if i called you a cabbage.  It's nonsensical.

Heck, lets ignore two raCesIf you call a black person ugly, he's going to be less offended then if you call him a nigger.

Why is that?  Is there a double standard there?  (Hint: no.)

Men and women dancing is not the same.  It does NOT hold the same context.

If you call a white dude a spick for example... it doesn't hold the same context as calling a hispanic dude a spic.

 

If you cook a meal for a white dude and make him Chicken and Watermelon with a side of Colt 45.  He's going to think your weird.

Cook the same meal for a black guy.... and he's going to think your a racist.

Why?   Context.

Context?  What context is there in a woman dancing and a man dancing? You have already made up your mind that it is something wrong, you realize not everyone agrees with you ? CLEARLY those women who dance don't agree with you, because they are ok with dancing being their living.

As far as the black vs white argument is considered, I did say that the white person will get less offended than the black guy. But they are both trying to do the same thing really. An insult is usually thrown around to make the other side feel bad, or it is used to create comedy. In the latter's case there is absolutely no reason to get upset about it imo because the person's intention may not be to insult? In the former if you feel it is wrong to make a person feel bad through the usage of racial abuse than it is wrong to make him feel bad through any other.

It's not women dancing.  It's women dancing at a buisness function meant for both women and men.   When women do it, it's seen as offensive because it's there soley to please the men, thinking was only for the men, and it harkens back to older days of women being property.

If you paid men to dance... people would just find it inapporpirate and stupid.  People would still be upset.

 

You can mean cooking chicken and watermelon in a good way.   People are still going to get offended whether you meant to or not?  Why is that?
