I refuse to camp at Cracker Barrel. I'm Caucasian and I consider the name to be racist and offensive. :M

A little research before making blanket statements will help keep your foot out of your mouth.

Evins named his restaurant Cracker Barrel Old Country Store to recall the country stores of his youth in rural Tennessee where people would gather around to play checkers on top of an empty barrel that had been used to deliver crackers to the store, and catch up on the latest news in their small towns. He offered the Southern country cooking he had grown up on, using many family recipes, and decided to decorate the walls with authentic antiques.

Lighten up.

yeah, like they didn't know that "Cracker" was a derogatory term. Kind of like in my neck of the woods a local football team was the Frisco "coons". When that name hit the fan there were quotes from all sorts of good ole boys saying they never, ever knew that "coon" could be a derogatory term. Probably because the words they were using were a bit stronger. Besides that, it was obvious the first post was a sarcastically humorous retort. But I guess a few people are wound a bit tight and their funny bone broke a long time ago.
