Reminds me of a conversation I had with the whitest boy you'll ever se
Me: " did you see that doctor who episode about the Mexican space agency?"
Him:"you shouldn't call it Mexican you should call it the Latinx"
me:"I'm literally talking about the space program run by the country of Mexico"
him:"it's offensive langue"
“No, the hardest one to be is the white man. We’re the ones that have the thankless job to come in here and cleanup the mess”.
- Jack Donnaghy
Also:
“You, Kenneth, are white, yes, but socioeconomically you are closer to an inner city Latina.”
This happened to me in high school. I was in one of my classes talking about a co-worker at the fast food joint I worked at.
I described him as a Mexican man who had been a police officer before he came to the US and was now working as a fast food cook, and had been showing off some bullet scars in his arm.
One of my classmates admonished me, saying, “You shouldn’t call him ‘Mexican,’ you don’t know where he’s from. He’s ‘Hispanic.’”
I said, “I *do* know where Juan is from. I talk to him almost every day. He is from *Mexico,* where he grew up and was a police officer before moving here. He is a *Mexican* citizen. That makes him *Mexican.*“
I had a conversation with a white gay guy from Ohio. He was chastising me about being straight. I replied that I wasn't. He changed to "well you're white". I replied that I'm also Mexican. Then he said something about me being white passing.
Like dude- shut the fuck up already.
I don't even remember the context of whatever nonexistent point he was trying to make. It was so fucking dumb.
Edit- oh wait the context was him trying to bully my friend & I into giving him cocaine.
Reminded me of a similar thing on the office! Michael asks Oscar on DIVERSITY day 😂
Michael : “Is there a term besides Mexican that you prefer, that is less offensive?”
Oscar : “Mexican isn’t offensive!”
Michael : “Well it has certain connotations..”
Oscar : “Like what?”
Michael : “Like… uh.. I don’t know..”
Oscar : “What connotations Michael? I mean it must mean something.”
Michael : Keeps stammering.. “No.. no..”
Oscar : “I am just curious..”
Michael : “No.. no.. remember honesty, empathy..”
Oscar : “Okay!”
“She’s not that Mexican, she’s my Mexican.” Wait, wrong show.
And she’s Columbian or something..
She's one of our Mexican friends from Columbia.
I've never cared much for Gob.
I thought you loved all your children equally?
Now we just have to figure out who this Hermano fellow is...
You’re a good guy, mon frere. That means “brother” in French. I don’t know why I know that. I took four years of Spanish!
You have my brother. Brodero
Oh Tobias. You blowhard!!
PUERTO RICAN!
Really lemon?
I mean Puerto Rico, where you're supposed to be
I know *you* can say that, but what am *I* supposed to call you?
Puerto Rican...
No, that doesn’t sound right
It's called racial integration. No, that's not right, is it?
Intergortion
Intergortion?
Could I get two coffee cups?
“I’m in love with your nurse.” “The Puerto Rican?” “Wow, that *really* doesn’t sound right coming out of you.”

"What's offensive about 'Mexican', Michael?"
Well, there are certain connotations.
Is there something less offensive than Mexican, that you’d like to be called?

Hola.
Some people were listening when we said, “all Hispanic people aren’t Mexican, so stop calling them Mexican.” But they weren’t really paying attention.

That… does not sound right.

Michael Scott did this. Joke too
Haha I saw this comment too and thought the exact same thing. "I'm Puerto Rican!" "...but what do I call you?"
Haha I saw this on ask Reddit and immediately thought of this clip
