No I've never called a white person that, but have seen it happen, & they laugh like it doesn't phase them.
Actually, the word cracker does offend some people, albeit a small group...thats why it survives to some degree. I have seen it.

If humans were smarter they would ALL do that for the racial words that bother them....just laugh at/ignore them. Doing so makes the "offending" word useless for the most part.

When those offended by a word give power and such creedence to a word such as has seems to being done with the offending N word in question, they only do themselves and others who are offended by that word a great diservice.

Giving a word great power only ensures that the offending word will NEVER EVER die...it will always survive unlike other words that fade into oblivion to be seldom used...it will become a stronger and better insult really...and that people will ALWAYS pull it out and use it when they want to really cast insult.

Also, it is absolutely impossible for ANY race of people to reserve unto themselves alone the use of an english word. Those who may think this possible are not thinking too clearly...to say the very least. Such a notion is absurd...not to mention it's basicly racism in action...the very enemy to begin with.
