actually they call illegal immigrants that cross the southern border wet backs (because they swam across the rio grande to get there)
And Mexicans in Mexico also call illegal Mexicans in America wetbacks. so it's not a racial thing, Mexicans use the same term.
Now if you call a Mexican-American that is not illegal a wetback, that is racist, because it's assuming that all people of Mexican decent in America are here illegally, when in fact the vast majority of people of Mexican decent in America are here legally and are American citizens.
