I grew up in some countryish town suburbs of east Dallas and I heard a lot of derogatory terms about people of color. Lately, I’ve also studied or took notice of people that do this thing that is described by the word, “gaslighting.” What’s a better way to say that last sentence… I’ll figure that out later. There’s a derogatory term used for people that came to the U.S. from South America called a “wetback.” It’s a derogatory term used for people that migrated from South America and supposedly swam across the Rio Grande to get here. They got wet. Wetback. Funny thing is, that they didn’t consider, is that Europeans initially came to U.S. by boats that involved a lot of them in the ocean, and learning how to swim to survive the trip over here. “WETBACKS”
