Why do you think white people don't take offense to the term "Cracker".. We have never fueled that word, and because we haven't when people attempt to use it as a racial slur we kinda laugh at them. For instance..

I was in my Senior History class last year, and this black girl was sitting next to me. She was a spoiled little twat that needed the shit kicked outta her, but I was a nice guy, and I kept to myself did my work and turned it in. One day she continually clicked her pen for 90 minutes. click click click click... I asked her nicely to please stop it, she goes off on me, "I'm mad, I'll do what I want to".. We exchanged a few words under out breath and she ended her verbal assault with, "You dumbass cracker". I lol'd in my head and said to myself, "If I were to call you a nigger I would get sent to the office, a referral written up.. Not only that but the immense beating I would incur after my suspension".

Why does the term "nigger" have such a greater effect then "cracker", or how about "beaner". It's because the minority races take so much damn offense to the WORD (<-- W - O - R - D). If every black man, woman and child.. and every hispanic man, woman and child practiced the "I don't give a fuck" idea, racism would end..
