monkey see, monkey do.
what i want to know is why are there so many derogatory names for non-Caucasians... all we have are cracker, honky (ridiculous~where did that come from!)...whitey...? WTF? the white man has fucked up more shit than any other race known on earth...and then applaud ourselves for doing so.....we even come up with holidays for the shit...thanksgiving? good job with the genocide guys. christmas? this one gets earlier and more fucked up every year...easter? come on, what's with the fucking rabbits?
that's all
This is a hard question to answer. I think you need to know a lot about sociology and anthropology and culture. The more you know the better to answer this question.
Because some Caucasians, particularly religious ones, think they are superior. Adolf Hitler was a Catholic. And I must say Christianity has done a good public relations job to distance itself from its involvement in the inhumanity of the second world war.
So because Caucasians think they are superior they reinforce this thinking by making fun of others different from them. For example gay people, the Bible tells them homosexuality is bad and because of their faith they possess certitude their behavior is appropriate. So they make fun of gay people and even worse some of them resort to violence.
You said “the white man has fucked up more shit than any other race known on earth...and then applaud ourselves for doing so..…” That’s true but they also make fun of each other. People making fun of the Irish or Irish making fun of the British or Scots or vice versa. I know Greeks and Italian’s make fun of the English from cooking to the way they raise their children.
Christmas, Santa Claus and Easter with the bunny rabbits are a little different because they’ve been influenced by capitalism or consumerism. For instance, if you look into it, the present concept of Santa Claus, a fat man in a red suit giving presents, that’s all about corporations brainwashing us to spend money buying stuff so they can make profits. Santa Clause was a creation of the Coca-Cola Company, at least the modern version of the man in a red suit.
The rabbits have to do with springtime and love is in the air and procreating the human race and all of that stuff. Rabbits because they have many babies and it has to do with humans having sex and having children and the weather getting better in the spring so men and women going out together and having fun, including sex.
From Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honky
Honky is a corruption of hungy or hunky, a term which originated in the stockyards and slaughterhouses of Chicago. The term may derive from "Bohunk" (Bohemian-Hungarian), which was used to refer to central Europeans. Black and Hungarian workers were two of the largest ethnic groups in the Chicago meat industry. Racial and ethnic tension between the two groups led Black workers to begin calling Hungarian workers, and those perceived as Hungarians, hunky, perhaps in retaliation for the racist epithets to which blacks were subject. The corruption 'honky' emerged shortly thereafter
Sorry for the long answer but all this was developed over a long period of time and it was a complicated question, for me anyway.
