Wetback is not a race.
It is a state of being.
Mexican is not a race.
It is a description of persons in or from an immediately proximate nation that resolves several pesky social issues by exporting them to the USA, which is likewise a nation and not a race.
There is a river in between mexico and the USA.
My next door neighbor is an American descended from mexican parents, others from Guatemala, Illinois, and Samoa.
None of those is a specific 'race' although the Samoan might protest.
You don't take much 'drawing out' yourself; try to get over your personal issues and deal with the larger ones; like governmental willingness to ignore basic laws of our country to make life easier on a neighbor's greedy and inept elites.
Always in favor of open discussion.

Semantical points notwithstanding, ethinic slurs are (for lack of a better term) racist. Your opinions are born out of bigotry, therefore open discussion with you is pointless.
