| In Texas where I am from - not calling someone mexican was pretty much an insult in the 70's. Hispanic and Latino were not in use yet and the alternative terms that I learned were not flattering. What ya'll called spic - we called pachuco.......... ya know the greased hair, western polyester pants and pointed toe shiney shoes????............... Now don't get all riled up - my first dear departed hubby was mexican........... so I actually know far worse words than what I just used............. If he were alive he'd be laughin at all of this anyhow................ THAT's the mexican culture I was exposed to....... ya know the kind that is proud to be of American birth???? Look around you will still find em.................. they just don't get as much news coverage as someone that has no investment in this country - other than to rob and pillage.......... and rape the economy of what they can get............
Again........ don't quit posting Drifter.............. we do value your opinion and posts.............even thos we discuss them with enthusiasm...............
