> [@Clothahump](#): > > Sigh. Newsflash for you, **iiandyiiii** - the term “wetback” is not a racial slur. Never has been, never will be. In the strongest possible terms, I _implore_ you to find a local bar or similar meeting place frequented by Latinos, stroll in and shout “wow, look at all the _ **WETBACKS** _!” Not only will you get immediate, definitive confirmation for your claim, you may get to practice some of your Taekwondo moves, and possibly brush up on your first aid skills. How good are you at stanching bleeding? Oh, the term only applies to Mexicans who crossed the border illegally, by swimming across the Rio Grande, you say? Great! There shouldn’t be any misunderstanding that you’re referring to them. Good luck, and hurry back with your report! ---

Somehow, i Don’t think people who use the term wetback stop to check immigration status first. ---

By the way, here’s what happened the last time I asked **Clothahump** about his usage of “wetback”: > [@Republitrolls.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/republitrolls/777646/287): > > Calling all Mexicans wetbacks is incorrect usage of the term. The term is applied correctly to anyone who swims the Rio Grande and illegally enters the USA, regardless of country of origin, and as such is not an ethnic slur. Only people who look for things to be offended about think it is one. After this, [I pitted him](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=817223) for using ethnic slurs. Then, he [said this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19946433&postcount=42): > [@](#): > > iiandyii, you are dumber than a box of rocks. > > Do you seriously think that I didn’t understand that you were just looking to pick a fight with me, like a school bully who says my sister fucks for quarters? > > Guess what, bro? I played your stupid ass all the way up and down the street. I fed you a calculated response that was intended to light you up, just like telling the bully that the quarters are better than the dimes his sister fucks for. And you fell for it hook, line and sinker. It worked out even better than I thought it would, because you were actually stupid enough to open a Pit thread glorifying it. > > And all the rest of you bigoted assholes who promptly piled on to agree what a horrible person I am - you fell for it, too. I played each and every one of your stupid asses. Not a single goddamn one of you even stopped to truly read my response and think hey, wait a minute - that sounds really contrived. NOT A SINGLE ONE! You just saddled up your bigotcycles and popped a wheelie. > > Here ya go, iiandyii - you get to wear the crown for being the King Of The Dumbasses. Rest assured, you have many, many subjects in your kingdom. > > Now, I’m quite sure that you guys are gonna start stamping your feet and waving your hands in the air and holding your breath until your faces turn red and whining about how I trolled you and how evil, wicked, mean and nasty I am. I’m really looking forward to reading the responses. Please try to be a little creative, otherwise you’ll just get boring. > > Oh, man - I can’t hold it back any longer. BWAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH! It’s just too funny. > > I don’t have many subscribed threads, but you can bet I’m subscribing to this one. I’ll come back to it and read it any time I need a good belly laugh. So, apparently, he is saying that he didn’t really mean it – he just provided an answer that was meant to rile me up (or something like that – still not sure exactly). He then got [suspended for trolling](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=817278). But now he gave a similar answer to the original one that (according to him) was not meant sincerely. So maybe he wasn’t trolling after all? Maybe he was being honest, but then for some reason decided that he’d rather make everything think he really didn’t mean it after all? Huh. **Clothahump** , can you clear this up? Do you believe that “wetback”, the word in question, “is applied correctly to anyone who swims the Rio Grande and illegally enters the USA, regardless of country of origin, and as such is not an ethnic slur”? ---

Hell if I know… Personally I think the cries of Alt left and All right are mostly stupid assed shit. And for that matter…why do BOTH sides seem to want to pander (or at least not offend) to the extremists on “their side”" Like what, if Trump pisses off some KKK kinda people too much they will get pissed and go go vote for Hillary:smack: PS.
