1: a native or inhabitant of Latin America 2: a person of Latin-American origin living in the United States http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/latino I doubt the people of Latin descent who worked on the Young's farm, actualy lived in the United States. Using the term Latinos, does not accurately describe the workers on the farm. Staying on the topic of "racial insensitivity" the below post could be interpreted as racialy insensitive towards Muslims, especially Iranians. http://www.theeroticreview.com/discussion_boards/viewmsg.asp?MessageID=205510&boardID=39&page=2
...for Republicans to do that because they can just say they grew up with "wetbacks" and that's what they called them back then. That's why St. Croix and others of his ilk think they're not racist.

"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....
