Does saying I love the act of him giving the establishment the finger, but not what he says, make sense.

I think I lot of people feel that way.

His 15 mins will be over soon

Yup I agree.

Do people consider towel head and wet back offensive. ?

I'd wager someone who wears a turban or a person of Hispanic origins would.

My wife is from Hispanic origins in Philippines, She would have zero clue what wetback meant.

I only think wetback would offend an illegal immigrant, not a person who came to USA legally

I'm a natural born US citizen. If someone called me a wetback, or any of my Hispanic relatives a wetback, or any of my Hispanic friends -- regardless of their immigration status -- a wetback, I would consider that person a bigot, and beneath my contempt.

And what, pray tell, must one do to be worthy of your contempt?

Be a really big fan of Rush.

Edit to add: Except those friends of mine who are really big Rush fans, because I love them in spite of their infirmity.

It's a derogatory slur for people south of the border. Like calling an Asian person a slope.

If a person lets a derogatory slur bother them or piss them off, then they have no skin and are pretty much a cry baby and have no spine.

I have been called all kinds of derogatory names (Honky, Cracker, Redneck, Hillbilly) and it never bothered me, I just laughed it off.

Everybody in the USA get too butthurt now of days.........

Naa wet back is going to offend most if not all Hispanics . Someone from the PI with Spanish blood is no more Hispanic than I am German because I have Salzburger roots

When the government uses those slurs to describe people and conceives policy that reflects those prejudices, you might feel different if you are the target of it.
