why is it an insult when you call mexicans wet bag.?

Answer 1

So many insults to you because of a typo, anyway, It is Wet Back and that term was coined from so many Mexicans that would cross the Rio Grand to get to America and then start working and the bosses would call hem wet backs because they were fresh from crossing the border. As you would know it was never ment to be a comliment therefore as time continues on and more and more people rise up against an opressive statement, it becomes a politically incorrect thing to say. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Well, "wet bag" sounds a lot like "wet back" which is a derogatory term used for Mexicans that crossed the US borders illegally.

Answer 3

It's not wet bag it's wet back. Because name calling is rude and disrespectful.

Answer 4

What the?? Why is this question in the photography section... probably for the same reason you call mexians wet bags and they laugh at you.

Answer 5

because when you go across the border you are considered a wet back cuz your back is wet when you get out. and then when it is dry you are considered a dryback. and thenwhen yall call white people a cracker it insults them so we are all even!! So QUIT calling people names!!

Answer 6

its a wet back not a wet bag, lol

Answer 7

Perhaps you have no idea of what you are writing, but I doubt it. I suspect you are just here to make a nasty statement, and you have done it...are you as proud of yourself as you should be...good, then..you have accomplished your silly little goal. I certainly hope this comment is not an indicator or your life...is it that small???

Answer 8

Not really, since the insult is "wet-back." (Yahoo censors it without the hyphen.)

Answer 9

do you mean wet back? Because it implies they have swum to and or are swimming/swarming our country.

Answer 10

Why are there no Olympic swimmers from Mexico? They are already here. Does that help.
