Using the term "wetback" would get almost anyone dismissed. It is offensive and stupid to use.
The name originated from the illegals crossing the Rio Grande to slip in...thus wetbacks..one could call them unauthorized swimmers.
Illegal immigrants works for me.
Not such a bad term for a criminal, really, now is it?
"Using the term "wetback" would get almost anyone dismissed. It is offensive and stupid to use."
Oh you mean like when the liberals use the term whitey and nazi and JJ and Al S. use the term hyme and they get endorsements from corporations. Hmmm seems like you have a one sided view of things. Or how about when the hispanic who was calling for his firing used the term retard???? Hmmmmm?
I dont hear anyone calling for them to get fired? Its ok for the libs to use racist hate terms I guess.
I'm offended that you used the word "stupid." That is a very offensive and stupid word to use.
Some day maybe we won't all jump at the chance to be "offended." For now, though being "offended" carries WAY too much power!
You are right, it should. In practice, using such offensive terms only gets conservatives dismissed. For liberals it is just considered cute. The problem is the double standard that is a weapon wielded by liberals against conservatives.
