Wikipedia: Please add these Pocho Ocho ethnic slurs for Mexicans

by Especial Correspondents on August 9, 2012 in Cultura, Pocho Ocho


Can’t get no respect, not even from Wikipedia.

The online encyclopedia offers a comprehensive entry on ethnic slurs:

  • Bad names for Italians? Wikipedia is right there with Dago, Goombah, Greaseball, Guido, Guinea and Wop.
  • Wikipedia offers a shoutout to the Jews: Hymie, Kike, Mocky, Hebe and Sheeny.
  • African-Americans? Wikipedia has you covered: Coon, Crow, Boogie, Eggplant, Macacaca, Sambo and Spook.

And yet there is no listing of nasty names for Latinos in general, let alone Mexicans. No pinche respect!

So, pochos, if you’re Wikipedia editors, please note our Pocho Ocho top ethnic slurs for Mexicans:

8. Chile Bender

7. Border Baby

6. Cactus Breath

5. Jumping Bean

4. Hat Dancer

3. Piñata Packer

2. Tortilla Slapper

And the numero uno ethnic slur we need to add to Wikipedia comes from Hollywood, where Mexicans are known as…

There are only three listed. I want to know about the Mics (Irish), Polakos, Indios de India, not the “HI how are you, HI how are you”, I want the knowledge to offend whomever offends me. Nothing personal just business. Don’t let the name fool you. Soy un “ito” Pretito, Gordito, medio feyito y puro Brownsville aye te watcho…

Being of the Mexican american descent otherwise known as Stupidus mexicanus(latin) We who have never been accepted by our border brothers (mexicos mexicans)and whites dont have to know how to spell mexican words or be grammatically correct. Afterall we are just coconuts brown on the outside white on the inside Aye te watchoe.

Aw anybody can post in wiki!

Wiki has also left out “taco bender, and the very popular “mexicunt”. But as usual we will remain the “invisible race” even within the world of racial slurs.
P.S is it just me or does everyone else agree that Texas should be closed off from the rest of the states, Don’t let anyone out and don’t let anyone in! Wait except for Selena but not Los Dinos no not the dinos. and Stevie Ray vaughn___of course if they were still alive,that goes without saying.

You can’t leave “Beaner” off the list.
