It depends on the board, and also it depends on which poster complains to which mod...

I'm mexican and I dont really care. Then again my dad was 100% mexican and my mom was 100% white (some form or another). And my dad while us kids were growing up would call us all sorts of mexican slurs so that when and if we heard them we wouldn't be offended. We could laugh and never loose a second of sleep over it. We dont really care at all. People act as if they had a choice in what race they were, and that theirs is more superior and all that, its complete idiocy. There is no superior race or anything. Its all within the person that holds the view.

So my answer would be no, it isn't. Its actually kinda funny. My dad used to call us taco bandits, curtain climbers, house apes, wetback, mojado and all sorts of names. We just grew up hearing it, so it was always funny. It lost its racist harmful intent on the receiving end.

Its derogatory in nature and somewhere between 'meant to be humorous' at best and disrespectful at worst. Its on par with camel jockey, redneck, limey, beaner, etc.

As with most racist terms, it depends largely on how it's used and how it's perceived.

Coming from you it sounds kinda racist, though.

Its all how one takes it. People can call me something with the most derogatory of intentions and it doesn't hold the weight as such, because I dont see it as such. So it doesn't bug me in the slightest. But then again thats me. Not everyone has my temperament or easy going nature. I can shrug it off with a laugh and walk on with my day and not be affected in the slightest.

yes it is.

though I call the salvadorians at work that all the time. not cause i'm racist, just cause they laugh since some of them actually DID swim across the rio grande to get here.

also because they call me mexican.

then i remind them that they aren't speaking mayan cause my people conquered them, so they are just jealous.

and we prefer the term "Board Overlords."

thank you very much, you can't use the term mod, that's OUR word!

Racism is the belief that inherent different traits in human racial groups justify discrimination.

Since Hispanic or Latino isn't a race..how can this term be racist?

That's funny Lyndrek, same situation here. When I was in service quite a few fellow soldiers were mexicans and illegals. Some of them damn good soldiers too. Good thing the army doesn't care about little things like that. grin

some of their stories about getting to the US are crazy. wandering the mexican desert, looking for whatever kind of water you could find so you don't die, drinking from pools of dirty fetid water with dead animals all around it, and in it. stuff like that. not eating for a week or more at a time.

crazy.

they should do a real survivor series. put a bunch of people on an island just full of cameras. don't give them any thing, record their antics for three months, see what happens. only aid in case of emergencies/life/death situations, and if someone is in that situation and needs intervention well then they are removed from the island.

no stupid contests, no stupid teams, no stupid show host, just a bunch of people trying to survive. don't give them any aid just make sure that there are sources of food and water on the island somewhere.

Your statement is racist against people who perform donkey shows, and against donkeys themselves.

uh... I don't see myself making an ass of myself. so I think you failed.

course if you DID want me to make an ass of myself, I guess I COULD ban you for having a slur in a title, which if I can ban for if I felt like I had to be an ass.

you know since I don't want to disappoint you an all.

Everything is racist as long as someone complains, I was banned from another board for using the term illegal alien. I pmed a mod and informed her that illegal alien was the legal definition and was informed that since someone said they were offended I had to live with a two week ban.

The bible doesn't talk about some races being better than others. The old testament says the Jews are God's chosen people but that doesn't mean they're superior. They're just chosen.

In practical terms, being chosen seems to entail being PWNed a lot and having to give up a lot of stuff.

You don't think being god's chosen (treasured actually) is superior to being not chosen by god? Being chosen/treasured,directly protected by the one and only god is clearly a superior trait when compared to those who aren't gods chosen/treasured people.

Clearly if you believe the bible(s) word for word: Lynrek > Mastara angel

No. Jewish law actually makes this very clear.

Jews are not superior to other people. They are chosen. It's quite different and has different implications.

God isn't bound by Jewish law,and having traits that would make the one and only god treasure you above all others is clearly superior to those that do not posses those traits ...now STFU and go away I'm trying to have fun and you're not my target. shhh

Of course it does. It doesn't make you better, though.

The establisehd jewish legal position worked out over thousands of years is Jews are not inherently superior to non-Jews.

If you want to approximate the traditional jewish legal system in a modern phrase it would be closer to "seperate but equal" in the real meaning of the term than to "whites are better than blacks."

Anyone can convert to Judaism.

Saying the Jews are God's chosen people is like saying Christians are God's chosen people or Muslims are God's chosen people.

I know I got talked to once for saying illegal immigrant, I just laughed in their face. and retorted with

"are they or are they not here illegally?"

"well yes but"

"But nothing, they are here illegally and they are immigrants, hence illegal immigrants."
