@hbdchick My hypothesis is that most do consider it so, nearby Mexicans using it almost always as an insult. -
@gaolus yeah, i think mexicans might use at as an insult more than other latinos, but really not much. used to live in l.a. (^_^) ... -
@gaolus ...sometimes an insult, be very often not. -
@hbdchick Well, so far a 69 percent do not consider it an insult. You seem to be on the winning side. -

@AliceTeller Is it "gringo" we are discussing, or "redneck", "Southerner", Mrs Teller?@hbdchick -
-
@AliceTeller I know you do not. It is just that your previous answer reminded me of your pride in those adjectives.@hbdchick
