Is it just considered "racist" if a caucasian person says it ???

Okay......if it's all in how one uses the word, then is it "OK" for teens to go around calling each other "******" as if THAT's OK ??

If in doubt, don't do it. It obviously offends some by the answers you're getting here so it's best to not use it then.

No. Its one of the names they chose for themselves in the seventies and later found out it was a slur in the Lower Rio Grande Valley.

I believe racism is all in HOW you express yourself. I don't think a single word should offend anyone.

I am white and always felt it was a negative not a positive
toward their race.

No. It means Mexican American. I don't see anything wrong with that name.

I don't THINK it's considered a slur, but it IS kind of like "their" word.

I'm getting pretty damn sick and tired of this mexican movement. African-Americans and whites have been doing through this for centuries, and now finally everything seems calm. Now Jose Gonzalez has to start his LA RAZA! 100%MEXICAN BROWN AND PROUND crap.
