When did "Mexicans" become a derogatory word? amirite?
by Anonymous13 years ago
When people started using it as one.

When did that start?
by Anonymous13 years ago
Honestly I have no clue. I just know that when somebody calls me Mexican they are using it in a dregrading way instead of just saying it like a fact.
by Anonymous13 years ago
I've actually never heard anyone call someone a Mexican... unless they were actually Hispanic and they were trying to tell people of their race... even if they aren't Mexican.
by Anonymous13 years ago
But what if someone said it without meaning to be derogaroty way? Like "She is Mexican." That doesn't seem offsensive.

@834262 (Jacketta): Well I live in Texas and I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I hear stuff all the time like Mexican? I need your papers. Or Mexican you gonna run to your mom she is just down the hall in the janitors closet. Sure some people say it when kidding but honestly most use It as a put-down at least in thie region.

obtw *¿Còmo? I take it you don't know too much Spanish, eh?
by Anonymous13 years ago
I speak French, but I know some Spanish words, why?
by Anonymous13 years ago
Yes, words, but as you might already have guessed, speaking in a different language isn't just translating word for word. Saying "What?" or "Sorry?" is not què, but còmo.
by Anonymous13 years ago
When did you say que (with an accent)? Although in French there isn't one!
by Anonymous13 years ago
The accent doesn't matter, I'm saying you used the wrong word in http://www.amirite.net/455550/834013
by Anonymous13 years ago
I didn't use que, it was the Amish dood....
Thanks for assuring me I'm not the only one having problems confusing people!

i thought como was how? and que is what
by Anonymous13 years ago
Como is the word you say when you want something repeated or clarified, however it is used in the sentences that start with How in English, "How are you" and all. You learn something new every day, huh.

If you call any Hispanic person that, that isn't a Mexican, they will be offended. Just like if you call an Asian person who isn't Chinese, Chinese.
by Anonymous13 years ago
I like the Chinese analogy, didn't think of that.
by Anonymous13 years ago
So is your op referring to calling a non Mexican Hispanic Mexican or just a random person Mexican?
by Anonymous13 years ago
Hispanic refers to someone from Spain, so you just did the same thing as someone saying Mexicans. The right word would be Latinos or Spanish-speakers.
by Anonymous13 years ago
Who colonized Mexico and Central America?
by Anonymous13 years ago
What are you talking about? I didn't say anything about not confusing other people's race.... You just proved my point... I said don't call a Hispanic Mexican and you just told me that Hispanics aren't Mexican....
Anyways a Latino is someone from Latin America, but Hispanic is someone who is from Latin America OR Spain, look it up champ

It's either because people are getting less creative, or just plain lazy.
by Anonymous13 years ago
Or being from Mexico is now considered bad enough?
by Anonymous13 years ago
I wasn't being serious. I was just saying that Mexican is used as derogatory term because people were too lazy to come up with another one.
by Anonymous13 years ago
I can't help but feel that you read my post about Mexican Pokemon and had an anonymous dude get offended about it.
I was really starting to wonder about it today..
by Anonymous13 years ago
I didn't, *goes to read WillAkana's posts*
by Anonymous13 years ago
Not sure how a language can be stereotype to a certain culture of people but aight...

by Anonymous13 years ago
I'm mexican, and i'm proud of it. Some people think that being mexican is he same as being stupid (specially in the United States of America), if you have ever been to Mexico you have noticed that every single person will tryto talk to you in your own language and make you feel at home but when a mexican goes to another country no one will ever try to speak to you in your language.
