I already told you that all Jimmy manufacturers should change their product names/descriptions. Jimmy as in the little black sprinkles you put on ice cream. They refer to Jim Crow and is a racist insult.

Crackers, however, can be determined by context. If you describe an embodiment as a cracker, then surely it's an insult. Let us have a server called Cracker Land and see if nobody picks up on it. Cracker is probably a better example than Fairy Land of game names that could be deemed insulting. Crackers as a food/object on a server, however would probably pass as not being an insult.

Let me add, I never said any name should be changed, I was just pointing out something that could be wrong with it.
