Talk:Florida cracker

Not just 19th century
Use of the term dates back to the 18th century and continues to the present day. It isn't just about 19th century pioneers.70.126.47.211 (talk) 21:58, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Why Anna Hicks?
I don't understand the link in "See Also" to Anna Hicks, a Boston politician. Why/how is she a Florida Cracker? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.47.231.2 (talk) 00:56, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Pejorative
I’m surprised that the Modern Usage section mentions only that “the term is used as a proud or jocular self-description” among “some Floridians.” If it’s only some, doesn’t that imply that there is another interpretation/usage? In fact, there’s another Wikipedia page for simply “cracker” which defines it primarily as “a racial epithet.” Neuroglider (talk) 15:22, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
