Anonymous asked: Could you explain how gringo and cracker aren't slurs like I am willing to accept that without an explanation it just seems kinda counter intuitive and Id like to hear from such a reliable source as urself! Thanks for helping me better myself :))))
they describe white people. there are no slurs that attack white people for being white because racism as a structure is white supremacist and therefore benefits white people. white people benefit from racism.
we have the right to name our oppressors, as people of color. our words will never carry the power that theirs do, as we do not have the power to enact the systemic violence that white people have enacted on us. we do not have the power to create racial slurs because we do not have the power to carry out the systematic violence and oppression to give a slur it’s weight.

Or you know racism happens all around and it isn’t specific to ONE race as the culprit.
