If a white person eats a cracker, doesn't it make them a cannibal?(no racism intended)
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
No, not at all because a cracker is not another human being. However if this person ate another human than that then is cannabis. In the case of cannabis e colour or race does not matter in the consumer nor the person being eaten.Now if there is human in the cracker(which does not happen) than it would make them a cannibal without them or others knowing.
