The term cracker originates from the slave masters cracking the whip. Its doesnt mean your complexion resembles a cracker. I dont think I've ever heard the term paleksin used in a negative sense asides from when my lighter complexioned friends gawk when they look at their farmers tan and go - wow im so dang pale. It certainly doesnt have the history the term redskins or even yellow man do. If you think white, paleskin and whip cracker are synonymous - or even comparable to the native american names,logos etc.. you can make all 3 of those teams. Just go buy some MLB, NHL and NFL video games. Pretty sure they all have a create a team option.
Your silly post making light of what is a serious issue to some probably wont catch on...
But good one! You made us all laugh. 10/10 knee slapper.
