I always thought it was funny but then I heard someone laugh and say it too and it felt weird.

guess it kinda feels like when I hear people call black buff men "Tyrone"

idk just a thought I had today maybe I'm just being sensitive

Not calling anyone by the nomenclature of their choosing is a shitty thing to do.

Never heard of it but probably yes. There's a different word actual mexicans use to imply the same if I understand the insult you are trying to make.

Why would you call Mexicans Edgar Allen Poe? That makes no sense.

This. Im Mexican. It was always Jose or something.

Not to say Im super in the culture. But I had the freedom to make racial jokes without worry. So, it's relevant.

No, I meant Mexicans that look a certain way.

This look is trendy now

Black shirt/ that haircut/ goldchain

Is it wrong to call them that?

I guess another thing would be to calling white women that complain karens?

like is that wrong or something?

I'm not white so I can't really speak on that

not that I think about it that was always really funny

guess i might be a hypocrite

Oh. Ok. I dunno. It's hard to offend a lot of Mexicans unless you're really being maliciously racist tho. At least, my generation. Or maybe just my family. I dunno. im not speaking for a whole race. I just feel like historically we're more likely to laugh at stereotypes against us.

They call them Edgar's because of an ugly ass haircut they have not because they're Mexican/Hispanic/Latino

racist stuff that will go unmodded cause we don't have mods that understand the culture

some mod will claim no one is reporting it
but we have in the past and nothing has been done so its gotten to the point where we just let it be
