So hispanics are "crackers" now? Seems like they could have picked from a brevy of hispanic themed racist names and they chose the one that doesn't apply.
Also, is anyone actually offended by the term cracker?

Only people who like to pretend that cracker is on the level of [racial slur]. It is a non-story (this T-shirt story) about frustrated people, regardless of race. Some people are looking to deflect the issue. "I know a kid is dead, but oh my goodness did you see what that rapper had on his t-shirt?"

I don't think there's much offensive about the term in and of itself. It's the use that matters. If someone called me a "skunkpony," a term I just made up, and it was pretty clear that "skunkpony" meant that the person found me to be inferior because of my race, I'd be offended. The word "skunkpony" would just be a convenient symbol of the thing that offended me rather than that thing.

It just shows ignorance. but then again, if you're wearing that shirt in the first place, then you've already announced your ignorance.
Also, is anyone actually offended by the term cracker?
I am, but haven't been called such in a long time. Besides "dumb ass" is a much more accurate term to describe me.

Apparently, yeah see. I thought at first it would be white supremacists goading the fact that Trayvon got shot. Which was what I'd expect. A shirt saying "One less N**** in the world Heil Hitler."
If anything I can sympathize with the black community. This kid was just walking around getting skittles for his little brother and a iced tea for himself them BAM. Crazy town watch guy guns him down.
And I've heard the official 911 calls replayed on TV. They told Zimmermen that the cops were on their way. And they did -not- want him following him. So he goes and follows him and no less fething shoots him. I'd be equally as pissed if it were a white youth picking up candy in a black neighborhood, because America still has lots of segregation. And got gunned down. It's not fething race. It's the fact a likely schizophrenic motherfeth gunned down a unarmed youth in cold blood.

Depending on how you categorize each term it is entirely possible for a Hispanic to be a cracker. The US census identifies both White Hispanics and Nonwhite Hispanics separately, although they may use more PC terms.

Reverse Racism is on the rise.
I can only imagine the outcry if someone went out with a N-word T-shirt (though its apparantly okay for said people to call each other it, as long as not White). Now that this is out, its ok?
Hypocracy and it undermines good racism movements.
It's not fething race
Cracker is a very racist word.

They did tell him not to follow, but on the other hand, there are some pretty contradictory witness statements from the scene. I'm not 100% convinced we know what actually happened, but it certainly does look like he shot the kid for no reason whatsoever.

I consider calling a white person 'Nazi' to be on par with the N-word if not worse. The n-word is just deragotary, being called Nazi implies that you're a PoS git.
The shirt is stupid and the story is sad. I doubt the whole truth about it will come out. The situation is strange and it sounds like things are being hidden.

I found this link in the comments off of the OP. Now I'm really curious if the case is as generally cut and dry as the media is making it out to be, especially with regards to the image of Trayvon currently being put forth.

A word is just a word, how severe the meaning is based on how much the user want it to be.
Cracker is just as bad as N@gger, the only difference is black people gets so angry and bent out of shape because they can.
Lets be honest here, how many of those that are offended by the N word was actually a slave?
None, then its just a racial slur used to incite hate, in that case cracker served the same purpose.
But white people dont get so angry over it.

When is the last time you see asian people getting so worked up been called a racial word equivalent?
My point stands, and its clear. If people can be civilized over even a racial slur, then the word itself holds no dominion over the people.
But we know some people love to use the race cards for everything.
Remember when USA built the transcontinental rail road? the chinese you guys had are treated pretty much like slaves,
and the racial slurs were used commonly. And you see how the chiinese dealt with it, gritted their teeth and continue to work hard?
First generation they worked like mules for their siblings. 2nd generation continued to work hard to further insure a better future.
3rd generation worked hard to be a contributing part of the society.
Do you see them use race card? ( sure some must have ) but generally they are very productive and less hateful compared to black people.

I'm pretty sure he's disagreeing with you and I can understand why.
There has been a great deal of mistreatment of minorities by whites, but for the past couple of decades whites have been bending over backwards to correct these tragedies.
In return, the Black Panthers have gone from a great organization that was simply trying to improve their communities to a militant and racist group. Meanwhile, the race card is pulled out every 30 seconds by some black leader trying to extend his 15 minutes of fame.

You weren't part of KKK, what kkk did has NOTHING to do with you ( or so i assume )
stop feeling guilty for what you didn't do, and stop giving free rides on the race cards.
People use the term cracker to incite hate, Its a plus that you didnt fall for it ( very good for you ) yet to say its not offensive when its meant to, is a whole different story.
