Should white people demand that they be called Saltine Americans?

Racism works both ways. White people should demand not to be called "crackers" and to be called "Saltine Americans" instead.

If you wish to be referred to as a slave owner for post-liberation times. Cracker was the title bestowed on those who owned slaves. The nickname conjured from listening to the constant crack sound of the whip. It seems more poloticaly correct to call, "african americans," black. And caucasion, white. Due to the fact, we are already consistently called white, if we are called white, they should be black. I believe in equality, not social norms. Side: Wait..., what? No!!!

Well, blacks did come from Africa so calling them AA wouldn't be inaccurate. Just as calling American Natives 'Americans' would the more proper term since non-natives are foreign and should be addressed as 'Europeans'. But of course this would be problematic due to some mixed cultures resulting in certain people with a combination of Native American and European. Perhaps I could be misperceiving 'American' as to mean 'North American/South America,' when it could just be termed as 'U.S.A.'. Ehh, Idk. Side: True.
