Pete is one of those white guys who is clearly a honky. He's not a cracker. He's a honky. Can I fully articulate where the line is drawn on the cracker/honky continuum? No I can not. All I know is what side of the line he falls on. It's a vibe thing.

Cracker is trashier? Or maybe more threatening?
