I’m American, currently living in a rural southern state.
I live near a city with a large African-American population. I’ve worked in blue color jobs. I’ve met quite a few people that might be called racist.
I’ve never heard the term ‘moon cricket’.

For that matter, I live near the largest remaining KKK organization in the country; as you can imagine, I was exposed to a ton of racist language as a child. That’s a big part of why I spent so much time in early adulthood do historical research. I could probably list more than a dozen racial epithets for Black people that I’ve heard first-hand, but that one in particular isn’t among them.
