Well, "cracker" is used pretty casually in pop culture. Even on broadcast television. It seems to have about the same weight as "Men are pigs!". I suppose its considered to be funny.

Sigmund Freud defined four parts of a psyche; the id, the ego, the superego and the stratego. The Stratego being the highest form of morality and scientific thinking.

The dehumanizing part is when it is assumed that as a "white" person you are part of this invincible collective and anything done to you in the name of attacking that collective is therefore justified because of the power imbalances. You are not so much an individual as a representative stand-in.
Of course this is nothing as dehumanizing and collectively restrictive as the concepts of "black" and the slurs attached to them. Only a complete retard would argue that. Pointing out that it can be dehumanizing and oppresive when done to a "majority" is not an attempt to equate the two or give them the same weight.
Also maybe people could stop pretending that the american societal experience with race is some sort of universal. This might blow your mind but the majority of countries in the world aren't majority "white", at least as understood by the american definition.
