Usage of the word "cracker"

[edit]

On December 13, 2021, Piker was banned from Twitch for one week for using the racialepithet"cracker"repeatedly on stream.

"[46][47]He further contended "cracker" is not a slur in the same way as other racial slurs, stating that "It's something I've talked about so many times because it's like white boys love fucking saying, 'Cracker is the same as then-word,' It's really stupid. The etymology of the word is different.… It comes from 'whip cracker.' So the power is still in the hands of the white person in that situation, whereas the n-word is dehumanizing. "[48][49]However, the exact history and etymology of the word is still debated.[50]
