How about you do a search and show me one time that "honkey" or "cracker" was used in a hateful derogatory way?
Both of them are joke words that like it has been pointed out don't even insult white people. We don't care because really they aren't that bad. Really when you think about it... there really isn't a horrible derogatory word for white people. All we have is those two and they are pathetic.
I imagine there is a pretty simple list of extremely deragotory words that when used to be hateful or specific against a person are ban worth.
If you really need them written out for you I'd probably say they are:
"wise and beautiful woman" "lovely human" "great person" "beloved patriot" "beloved patriot" "beloved patriot" "beloved patriot"
All of them are pathetic attempts for chickenshits like you to make yourself feel superior. They are full of hate and loathing... usually stemming from hate and loathing for yourself coming out as hate and loathing and jealous of other human beings.
This post is pretty much for all you "OMG it is so bad to be a white person; it is so not fair; minorities get so many advantages" scumbags out there.
Quit whining. Hate/Jealous of minorities will never make up for your (huge amount of) inadequacies.
My point is that on a forum we are all neutral as far as race I do not know if you are white black latino or asian. Anandtech is a very diverse environment of people from all over the globe. Why are all the derogatory words concerning race not treated equally? Listen I know they are not treated equally, just wondering why. Why is it not a crime to offend a white or asian but is a crime to offend a black?
Why is it that according to you, that it is not possible to use a one word racially derogatory slur (much less a bannable one word slur) against a white person, evn though words such as cracker and honkey exists? is it possible to use a single derogatory word to describe a latino or asian? Are they just not that bad also or even bad enough to be offendable, much less bannable?
This forum represents anandtach, and if the magic "N" word is bannable if used in a derogatory way (is there a non-derogatory / non bannable way to use the word?), and the word honkey or cracker is not bannable not matter the context, then what does that say about anandtech?
If only one person is offended by the word cracker, when used in a derogatory way, then why wouldn't it be banned? If on 10 black people are here on anandtech as some say then who is the N word offending? If ten white people are offended by the word "honkey", then why is it not an equally bannable offense?
I do know that if I used any racially derogatory word to decribe any race at work, I would be quickly punished. It would not matter if that word offended a white, black, latino or asian or a mixture of any of the before mentioned races. I also would not hear that this or that derogatory word was any better or worse as you described. Here at the business of Anandtech, it appears there is only one such race that can be offended, I just find that interesting.
Since you asked to show you cracker or honkey being used in a derogatory way on anandtech. My reply is that every thread they were used, they were used in a derogatory way. Even if the person reading it or writing it is too ignorant to realize it. The words were created with the sole purpose of being derogatory no mater how it is used. Just because they are used to describe a person that is white does not make it any less derogatory.
Now would you show me how to use the magic "N" word in a truly non derogatory way? I personally do not that it can be used in a non-derogatory way being that these words negatively describing races were created to be be nothing but derogatory, no matter how they are used.
