50 Racist Mexican Nicknames To Call Your Friend

I’m not sure what your purpose is for looking up racist Mexican nicknames, but if you are Mexican, it’s important to be aware of these terms so you can avoid them or stand up to those who use them against you. For anyone looking to discriminate against others, I hope you reconsider your actions. Everyone can be easily hurt, and imagine how you would feel if you were the one being hurt. So, do not discriminate against others.

But if it’s just for fun and your Mexican friend accepts this as just for fun, you may use it, but I think they won’t.
