It’s just a slightly dated sense of humour, the way I read it. I used to laugh with other pale dudes about cracker this and honky that. It was always in poor taste, but our hearts were in the right place. Most of us. It’s very late-00s, the kind of joke you’d only make as a super comfortable white guy who will never genuinely fear discrimination but wants to seem anti-racist while doing race jokes.
