You can't always be sure what someone will be offended about...whenever i hear these terms, I'm CTFU, not offended.....
*edited to add*
I'm not being serious, don't take anything I said as an attack because it is not one.

You can call me a "cracker" or a "mick" or a "WASP" for all I care, I'm not offended by it. But damasa is right, you can't always be sure who will be offended by a statement like that.
We should be not using words or phrases that are derogatory.
It doesn't matter if someone is trying to put a "positive" (i'm not sure if that's the right word) spin on the words, it will still always hold a negative connotation. The point is, these types of words or phrases should not be part of vernacular.
