I'm European-American, and I don't find it offensive at all. In fact, I strongly identify with the Ritz brand as it was my dad's (RIP) favorite brand, and it was a christmas tradition to always have some Ritz cheez spread handi-snacks (with the red stick). I loved them so much that he started calling me 'cracker-boy' and lo and behold it became my nickname.
Stop stifling free speech, and stop telling people how they're supposed to feel about a word.
Sincerely yours, a proud cracker boy"

Those red spoon specials were a rare but consistent part of my youth. I need to understand this more.
