ere is a quote from the
Huff post:
"How far we have come. "Wetbacks" was a term officially used by the democrat majority Congress during the 1950s to describe Mexicans who entered the US illegally so they could get into the bracero program, what we are now calling "green card."
Nobody in media thought to condemn a single democrat for using the disgusting term then, but today all the hate and bias of media rears it's ugly head every time a non-left wing liberal opens his mouth."
"Wetback" may not be a completely
racially derogatory term. It may be
used to describe an illegal Immigrant
or a particular life style that they have....
However it can be used in angst against
them with a racial bias.
I don;t think Don Young used it
in a racially derogatory way. They
were illegals and that was the term.
Even South Park Mexican uses the
term to describe himself in his song -
"You Know My Name": "My hood
is jet black, but they got love for
the only wetback"

Just because the term is used doesn't
mean your a racist. If Mexicans can
use, it why can't we - double stansard
maybe....
