I used to try more. I used to care more. Things won't change. But this did elicit a good racism rant in my head.
Jonathan Holmes The fact that reverse racism is logically coherent under colloquial definition of the word is a strong reason to change it because if some black guy calls some white guy a cracker, that white guy could think "what a racist" and then think his experience of "racism" is equivalent to a black person's experience of racism.
Obviously the black guy was being a jerk in this scenario, but the whtie guy can ultimately shrug it off. Black people don't get to escape.
