Racial slur from Grandpa!

Hi again Tresix,
Yeah, and while I am not Asian myself, it had/has to agitate them to see Occidentials play stereotypical Orientals going all the way back to the Sidney Toler/Warner Oland Charlie Chan movies.
A look thru the imdb info will show that Rubin and Scotti have played many ethnic characters against-type in their distinguished careers.

I myself was rather shocked when I opened up an early 1980s National Geographic magazine and saw a subheading entitled "Wetbacks" in a story about San Antonio. As the term referred to illegal immigrants from across the Rio Grande, I think the word was used commonly and not only by Anglos and not necessarily as a slur (or not perceived widely as such then).

"Wetback" is a derogatory term towards Mexicans (for those who swam across the Rio Grande River to get into the U.S.). Understand the racism (or nationalism) now?

I just finished watching this episode. I did notice that. I was also surprised (and amused) in the same episode when Herman put on the very stereotypical Asian disguise from his Official Disguise Kit and used the accent with the couple sitting on the park bench. I don't think it's anything to be offended over, but it does serve as a contrast to the sugar water sitcoms networks are producing today (with a few exceptions)

I'm thinking to an episode of "Will & Grace" where someone called a Mexican character "Tamale" and everyone got upset about it. The character wasn't supposed to be nice, so I would expect them to use a term like that.

Every time I see a bunch of wetbacks sneaking over the wall or across the Rio Grande and then coming here, hoisting up their crappy wetback mexican flag and then half of my paycheck is stolen (the feds call it taxed) to provide all kinds of freebies for them, I call them a lot worse than 'wetbacks'. I have no use for them and despise them. What they are doing nowadays is an act of war and if this country had any kind of government whatsoever they would pull the troops from all of these spots where they're policing the world and have them here on the mexican border with orders to shoot to kill all illegal invaders. Unfortunately, as long as a Commiecrat or a RINO is squatting in the White House it'll take vigilante action to do anything about the illegal invasion of this country by wetbacks.

The public schools and universities in this country have gone completely insane. I graduated from high school in 1978 and from LSU in 1983, but with the way schools have become nothing more than left wing extremist indoctrination centers they'd probably kick me out if I were a student nowadays for rebelling against their political correctness, open borders globalist agenda.

the thing that gest me id IF it was a place where you get a free pizza but only if ordered in English, then they would say it's racist against mexicans and the spanish.
yet they call the people who are against having to say it in spanish to get a free pizza "racists". -

It's the PC world gone mad. They used to have a show here in Spain in the 80's, the english in spain are called English SheepShaggers from London and limeys, on reruns, thankful they have left it in, and people still shout those nicknames for the english when Spain plays them in football.

I was working as a Janitor in a large factory a few years back. The was a water leak outside on one of the bathrooms, and my boss told a co-worker (who happened to be a legal Mexican Immigrant!) to "Go get a wet-Vac and clean up that mess up." Five minutes later, the came came back with another Mexican and they started to clean up the mess! My boss saw that, and just rolled his eyes and walked away!
