Marranos in Spanish mean Pigs.
I didn't invent that label... someonelse did centuries ago...
However In Mexico we don't hate Jews or Muslims like you in the USA.

The word " Marranos " was used in the last century when the White Mexicans ruled Mexico, and was used toward Jews who converted to Christianity...
I am not saying that mexicans call the Jews Pigs, unlike you Americans who have different unrespectful names for Mexicans, Latinos, Muslims, or Aryans...

First you go and say that Mexicans have a special word reserved for Jewish people that means "pig", then you turn around and say that Mexicans don't hate Jews "like you in the USA" do. What a douche.

This refers back to the time of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella in Spain. There were a lot of Jews living there at the time. Then the king and queen wanted everyone to convert to Catholicism or leave the country. Many converted, many left, and many "converted" but secretly practiced Judaism and were killed for it. So this term was given to those who claimed to accept Catholicism but actually practiced Judaism behind closed doors. Since "marranos" refers to pigs, this term was used to sting the Jews even more since they do not eat pork.

If Mexicans don't hate Jews, why do they call them pigs?

Mexicans hate everyone but mexicans, mexicans are the most racist people on this earth.
Proof of that is "la raza", for mexicans ONLY, no Guatemalans, no Cubans, no Puerto Ricans, no Peruvians, no other "hispanics" allowed.
The motto of "la raza" is "for la raza (mexicans) EVERYTHING, for everyone else NOTHING".
Now THAT is the epitome of racism at it's worst.

Then why do you keep bringing them up?
Most of us don't spend our time dividing people by religion, at all.
