Yeah the only issue here is "Caucasians" is roughly similar in emotional weight to "native Americans."

Shirt should say like, "crackers" or something

Cracker doesn't even have enough contextual weight. Whitey is about as heavy as I can think of and even that doesn't carry much weight for the people it should.

Source: I'm literally whiter than Casper the friendly ghost, and I actually care. The Americans I'm talking about just don't care.

Even that word has no pull nowadays. I don't know any white people that are even bothered by it in the least. I am one half Caucasian and I know for sure that it has no affect at all on me. I think it's a kind of funny word, actually. We need something with more spice to it for sure. Mayo monkies? Snow roaches? Marshmallow minions?

I very much like Mayo Monkies myself lol

Eh.. folks from County Mayo might feel unfairly singled out.

I would have thought that if redskins is the settler pejorative for native americans then Paleface (or the like) is the thematic riposte.

Out of curiosity what do you interpret it to mean?

[-] match@pawb.social 3 points 2 years ago

"Whipcrackers," even

Look, we nerds have taken that term over. It means you're a digital sabotuer and theft. You invade other people's space all on the basis that some other asshole promised to handle their safety, became a billionaire and never did jack fucking squat to stop anyone from taking advantage of his backdoor to "your" computer.

That and no one listened to the messiah predicting this and explaining how to really be safe on something that can actually be your computer.

So if it has a Windoze and an Apple on the picture and says exactly that...
