and I’m advised that in Florida, “cracker” refers to original colonial-era English and American pioneer settlers of what is now the U.S. state of Florida, and their descendants. So that’s not accurate either.

“Cracker” goes back to England and Ireland and predates America history. Thomas Sowell has explained its origin in some of his books.

I laugh when they spout "cracker" which is not at all a slur. They can't seem to paint anything that will stick.

Many of these settlers raised cattle. "Cracker" is said to have originally applied to Florida cowboys who drove cattle by cracking bullwhips.
