    As a Mexican, I'm offended by the fact that you think Mexican is some kind of bad word.

    That makes no sense. I don't even understand how you can think Mexican is some kind of slur.

    So you're saying there aren't many negative jokes about your race? Ok, liar.

    No, you just aren't making sense. Okay, there are jokes about Mexican people. But how does that mean "Mexican" is a dirty word? There are jokes about Chinese people. Is Chinese a bad word?

    Ok technical guy.

    Never said any of these were bad words. Just said there's somewhat of a negative connotation. Chinese jokes are few and far between.. and definitely nowhere near the negativity of black and Mexican jokes.

    Should be pretty easy to understand, but then again you're probably not trying to understand.

    I don't know where you got that from, but the word "Mexican" has no negative connotation. The word Mexican is perfectly acceptable.

    If you ever watch the news, you will even hear things like "today President Obama met with Mexican diplomats to discuss....".

    Mexican is a proper term for Mexican people.

    Seems like you are the only one who sees anything negative about it.

    Don't be ignorant. It is well known that Bill has dated some of the best looking black women in the city.

    I'm white and my cousins are black. It's just how ppl talk when your comfortable with yourself and the people ur around. I promise no blk guy is going to get mad by saying hey ur the black guy if he knows ur not a racist. I've never heard of any of my cousins angry at me when I introduce them as
    My blk cousins lol. It is what it is they call
    Me to their friends my white cousin is doesn't bother me or my brothers.
