Seriously. Canadians are racist as hell against Natives, but the Natives are also racist right back. It's horrible.

I'm sure white Canada is super oppressed. That does sound terrible.

At 44 years old, I still don't understand why the word "honkey" is a slur. "Cracker" at least is something I can trace a connection with ("whip-cracker = slave owner); "white devil" is just ridiculous but at least easily understood; "whitey" is obvious but still not something that offends me - but "honkey" is a mystery. Even Wikipedia has nothing but a bunch of nonsense as explanation (under "honky").

I am perplexed, Goons.

None of those slurs matter. Still white after you get called a cracker. It's not from whip cracking (probably).

White devil is perfectly reasonable and ought to be the go to descriptor.
