I suspected the “wet” reference was the Spanish equivalent of “wetback,” which is a pretty offensive term. But if it’s okay with you, it’s okay with me.

But this isn’t one of those things like blacks calling each other ni—er, where it’s okay for them but no one else, is it?

It is not okay for one Hispanic to call another “mojado” or “wetback” to their face-it is equally offensive coming from a person who is black, Italian, WASP or any other ethnicity, because it says they have committed an illegal act and are only fit to be deported or jailed-it is the same as telling someone to vete a la chin***-both are “fighting words” that can get your ass kicked if used carelessly.
