I'm too sensitive about the "Mexican" thing probably. I really need to stay out of this thread. It stresses me out, but for some reason I keep coming back. :/
Is it for political reasons
Because if referring to people from Mexico, as Mexicans is racist, then referring to people from America as Americans is racist.
So is calling Japanese people Japanese
Italians cannot be called Italians.
I get that the language in question has alternative names, but let's face it, no matter how you slice it
People FROM mexico, are MEXICAN the same way people from Germany are fuck my racism here but GERMAN,
Sarcasm suits you well.
A group of people who are mostly from Mexico, is not a group of Mexicans. It is a group of Hispanic people. And if you will refer to the post above you, I just honestly have an irrational urge to cringe at the word mexican. So yea, I'm sorry sue me.
And the thing that sounded racist had more to do with what seemed like an implication that all Mexicans are poor and breed like rats. Maybe that's not what was implied at all.
