    Oh shit I use that word at all the time and didn't know.

    Why does cracker even think "hey guess what, you eat RICE!" is an own in the first place? How did that become a slur?

        I'm eating beans and rice right now and you can't stop me greensicko

        At least calling Americans "burgers" has some bite to it because burgers are unhealthy fast food.
        Tea drinkers for Brits? Doesn't really do anything.
        What about Aussies is there anything for them? Vegemite eaters?

          It's fundamentally harder to hurt rich white people because the power dynamics are different.

          The punch hits harder going downwards rather than upwards.

            That's a more thoughtful answer than my post deserved, but thank you.

          don't have one on food, but as @Trudge@lemmygrad.ml eluded to, we have one based on being "lower class whites" - convicts

          it's not even a slur, but yanks and brits try to use it as an insult as it is an attempt to punch down. as you think about it more, it really is crouched in white supremacy because the only thing people throw at us is that we should be insulted for our genocidal shithole being a prison colony

      I know this is mostly a dunk but to seriously answer the question, slurs have never made any logical sense.

      For example, the slur "negr*" just means "black" in Spanish and saying that someone is "black" in English isn't even generally offensive. However, the slur is still definitely racist and offensive.

        Of course, I hope my comment didn't come off as diminishing. rat-salute

          No, not at all. Its genuinely funny that racists think about this shit all the time and this type of weak ass slur is the best they can come up with.
