        Blue eyed devils, honkies, mayonnaise monkies, paleface (probably the most fitting as it’s a slur of native American origin and fits the redskins theme), peckerwood, whitey, or white trash

          Yeah, you’ll need to try harder than that. Most of us aren’t blue-eyed and a lot of us are too different from the white trash stereotype. Most importantly, none of these are offensive enough.

          If I heard someone chanting “CRACKERS, CRACKERS, CRACKERS”, I’d probably join in and wonder what dip or cheese we’re having with that.

          This is a great discussion here, so keep reading. My favorites in this thread are the native wearing the “paleface” t-shirt with “Cletus”, and the “Fighting Whiteys”. Well done!

            I’m white myself and was just listing slurs I’ve personally heard. Peckerwood, whitey and white trash are all considered pretty offensive where I’m from. The words may look a bit silly when they’re typed out but you’re missing the contempt and hatred that comes along with it when someone looks you dead in the eyes and calls you a slur.

            The point is that they reduce you to a single feature, and display a clear disregard for your personhood. Perhaps being entirely unaffected by slurs is a bit of white privilege I’ve never felt and they genuinely don’t bother most people but idk

              White trash is classist as much as it’s racial. It would fall flat for someone who’s costly not.

              And yeah, maybe it is white privilege but I’ve never been offended by such a thing

            Oh I thought it was about saltines. White crackers that are bland and of little use on their own; bland and only useful to support things with more flavour.

        Eh, I don’t think crackers quite works, just because the origin and use of the word compared to “Red Skins” has a slightly different context. I think “Red Necks” would have been a solid play on words, but obviously doesn’t quite have the same racial connotations and history. Aside from whitey or cracker, I can’t think of many other similar pejorative racial descriptors that’d really work though.
