‘cracker’ is used jocularly and sometimes with pride, like ‘redneck’

Example of typical usage

@5que

I’m a Cracker now living in Chicago, but I went through a number of hurricanes growing up in Jacksonville.

I guess I’m the only one who has heard of white people calling themselves “crackers”?

White folks who are native to Florida, specifically, tend to use this term in reference to themselves.
