Explain why the term wetback is racist?

It means someone wet from swimming the Rio Grande

Why is that racist?

Demeaning. Yes.

Is it racist to demean people who broke our laws to get here?
Thanks to sensitive folks we now call them undocumented workers or residents

Isn’t that ridiculous?

Like calling terrorism man made disasters or Islam a religion of peace

What is your definition of racism?

Ethnic nationalism?

Is that the new threshold...

I grew up back when we had real racism....racial supremacists...

Now all i see is black and latino reverse racism and white inferiority complexes

That does not make me happy....does it you?

I hate to ask but how old are you and where do you live?

I am 55...southerner obviously...
Peckerwood Christian....admittedly

But i spent two decades mostly in latin America and was married to one and. Involved with many

I loved many....i adore Colombia

But i don’t want it replicated here...nor Mexico or Brasil

You know they use the term”mojado” themselves

Does calling folks out as racist give meaning to your life or a sense of superiority

I have never understood the urge but.....no offense..
.yankees and under 45 types just seem to swoon at a chance to call folks bigot

We southerners are so sick of hearing it directed at us from the preening class while our cities turn into Mogadishu that we would usually prefer death by a thousand cuts than have any satisfaction from ferreting out racism

When in reality white America except for a few of us has surrendered

Much less indulge in true National Alliance style racism

Those who fail to grasp culture seem most prone

Aren’t you a lawyer...i took the LSAT last century sometime

Accepted to Travis McGees under grad alma mater...713...1979 scoring system

Went to Bogota instead chasing a lovely from Santander

What a decidedly non anglocentric thing to do

When i came back to US fulltime in 1995

It was hard to swallow how stupid and weak so many had become

But that was only the beginning

I agree that using the term "undocumented worker" is a pathetic attempt to pander to them. I have consistently used the term "illegal immigrant," as you can see from this thread. You agree that the term "wetback" is demeaning, but it also gives Democratic Party operatives free ammunition. They can link to this page, to Tennessee Nana's remarks, and tell Latino voters that Republicans are racists.

Speaking in a more sensitive way when we are discussing Latinos and their issues costs us absolutely nothing. And it takes all that free ammunition out of the hands of those Democratic Party operatives.

I spent the first 20 very formative years of my life in Eureka, Illinois. It's the college home of Ronald Reagan. The whole county, and a region of several counties to the north where we went to church and have our extended family, is roughly 70% Reagan Republican. That's who I am.

And yes, we had real racists. When I was a kid, over in Pekin the Ku Klux Klan still had an active chapter. The high school team there was the Pekin Chinks. Now they're called the Pekin Dragons. Go figure.

I spent a few years in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Like you, I got "involved with many"; but I never married until long after I came back to the Midwest. There are reasons why so many American cities have names like El Paso, Las Cruces, Santa Fe, San Antonio, San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco. It's because Latinos were living there, working and owning the land and fearing God, for centuries before Americans came along.

Currently living in DuPage County, Illinois. Yeah, it's a suburb of Chicago. Jim Davis of the Daily Caller wrote that in DuPage County, we're far enough out that we can avoid getting sucked into the cesspool of corruption that is Chicago, but we're close enough that we can smell the stench. And our congressman is Pete Roskam, another Reagan Republican.

I can understand why Alinsky 'Rat moles would call anybody using the "wetback" term a racist. It's pure Alinsky, and to be expected from them.

But when "conservative" (sic) anglo types call us racists for using the term wetback, I think that they have been fully mind-melded and coopted into PC liberal borg-think.

Just what "race" is a wetback? It just describes an illegal who swam into the USA.

Just as what "race" is an islamic jihadist, or any muslim?

In 2002 when I wrote my first novel about the USA transforming into a police state, step by step, a lot of folks thought it was over the top, it could never happen here. "We're different. We're special."

Now, I get emails saying, "you were right, Matt," every damn day.

And now I say, and I will continue to say, that I don't think we'll even have 50 states under our present Constitution in 20 years--mainly thanks to our witting (and unwitting) open border Quisling traitors.

The unwitting category is well represented on this thread. They are the ones who believe that if you take a family just in from Chiapas to a 4th of July GOP rally, they will turn into Romney Republicans and reject the offered EBT card the 'Rats want to put into their hands. The EBT cards the 'Rats are literally advertising in Mexico, as a lure.

These pro-amnesty (whatever you want to call it) Republicans are utter fools, and I don't care how many sheepskins they hang on their walls.

But they won't listen, they'll just keep repeating their "It can't happen here!" American exceptionalism mantras.

Until reality hits them over the head with a 2X4, and their America is gone forever.
