SALTINE means "White Person."

More Observations...

A saltine is a thin salty cracker, usually made from white flour. On chat forums and social media (such as TikTok), saltine is often used as a coded and derogatory way to refer to a white person. This use of saltine is an example of algospeak, the abbreviation, deliberate misspelling, or substitution of words in order to bypass automated content moderation systems. In this case, the word cracker (a long established derogatory term for a white person) is recognized by some algorithms as a slur, but saltine is not.
