If you ban one you also ban the other. The -a is a respelling of -er, basically the same word.
... no. Also, white people are not victims of institutional racism. Cracker is, at worst, a mild insult.
Where is there anything to do with white ? I was talking about why n-a/er isn't banned and how saying -er should be banned while keeping the -a variant doesn't make sense. I am for freespeech to me nothing should be banned like that, i am by no means advocating for the cracker one.
Just admit you’re not American and have never stepped foot in America. Everyone - even the racists! - knows the difference.
Where did you get the idea that i was american ? Etymologically, the -a variant is a respelling of the -er which i believe is the original. This respelling is due to the "ghetto" spelling like gangaster->gangsta, same thing different pronunciation.
Oh yeah is that a rule you just invented?
It's a respelling banning one without banning the other doesn't make sense...
It only makes no sense if you completely remove any cultural context.
We don't exist in a vacuum.
