Tanng soo it only applies to illegal aliens, sure an American would not appreciate being called a wetback.
I lived in Harlingen TX and know the Chicano culture very well. A Mexican American will use wetback when talking about an Illegal alien, they do not like them either. It describes them as sneaking in to the USA - and they should be shamed for breaking our law.
Why are you talking about controling free speech on this thread of all places??
I think we could probably find better words to describe Illegal aliens - I mean, the Haitians that were placed into Springfield, Ohio certainly didn’t swim there across the Rio Grande.
I usually call them Illegals - naturally, that ticks off the left but that is exactly what they are.
Meyer - the dry-back.
