not at all... but again it must be easy to make a judgement call like that when you are not on the receiving end of the word. Nothing in that statement saying you can't enter into this conversation. What part of that you don't understand ???? Feel free to tell us why "wetback" is nothing like "nigger"...both are derogatory words uses to describe a person.

I agree that both are derogatory terms. However one is unconditionally racial, and the other is defined by an act: crossing a specified border in a specified direction without documentation. It is my opinion that the N-word is far worse, a more comprehensive judgment, and that its invocation is an escalation beyond proportion. The words have very different histories and "flavors" for lack of a better term.
My gripe is "terminological inflation", comparable to folks using the "slavery" tag for a dead-end job. It does no good and only does harm imo ... by removing the gradations between moral extremes. Jmo. cn

that is your opinion..mine is BOTH words are use to degrade another and have no place in our language, unless you are trying to be hurtful. Saying wetback is not as hurtful as nigger is crazy and shows you lack some sense of feeling towards another. Do people first ask "Hey did you cross the Rio Grande" before calling them wetback. Nice cover up and typical BS...IMO. Calling a Mexican a wetback is just as hurtful as calling a black person a nigger. Its only the people on the other end of the stick who feels different. The chutzpah of some still amazes the shit out of me.

Defend or retract the bolded. You're presenting your opinion as definitive.
Calling a Mexican a wetback is not only inappropriate (imo) but possibly incorrect. The slur is misapplied as a racist or nationalist term. Not all Mexicans are wetbacks, and not all wetbacks are Mexicans.
So yes; a term predicated on one's essential human attributes is something I see as worse than one predicated on one's actions.
Do not mistake my saying that as suggesting that one slur is more "acceptable" than the other. Both are beyond the pale in my estimation. What I am saying is that to claim equivalence between the two terms is dismissive of the group that suffered more and deeper injustices for longer, and ends up ... insensitive in direct contradiction to the intent (that I am presuming). I think your intent is sound, but i'm pointing out a problem with the execution. All jmo. cn

and that is why i side with you rather than the bear on this case.

they are equivalent in the sense that they both indicate the worthlessness of the person who uses the word.

nigger may be more heinous to the general public than wetback, but that matters nothing to the person who has to hear it and says the same thing about the person who says it. thus they are functionally equivalent.

Actual statement altered by Bucky the scummiest and most dishonest asshole on the forum.

You always know your winning the argument when a liberal radical starts calling people names..Liberals are tolerant of everyone as long as they share the same views. Many many people oppose gay marriage. Pathetic old fuck!


Bucky your taking tricks from the communist msnbc playbook again you fucking asshole.
