re: Is calling someone a Mexican racist?

Because it seems like he was describing a legitimate style of play that is associated with the country. I'm willing to assume that if you are familiar with soccer then this association is understood. His phrasing might sound racist to people who aren't as familiar with soccer when it really isn't. I'm just taking his word for it though because I'm not that familiar with soccer.

This is like calling the Sicilian family of chess openings racist against the Sicilians.

No. Your family are pussies and you need to slap the shite out of them

Seriously, if the context was as you describe, I don't see any problem with it at all. It might sound a bit racist out of context, but that's just your pussy family refusing to give in because they have an offense-boner.

Number One, Mexicans are great soccer players.

This shows a complete ignorance of the sport.

That's like saying Lithuanians are great basketball players.

We are equal opportunity haters on my hill. We say the n word a couple hundred times a day, call Mexicans all the slang terms. Same with the gays, Polish, etc. but we also despise white trash and call them names that I won't say on here.

Well, considering that Canada is "America on Ice".... Mexico would be "America Hot & Spicy"

It doesn't really bother people of Nicaraguan descent to be called Mexicans that I can tell. They just assign the stupidity where it is due. They also don't mind being called Americans.

Yes it is. Especially to those from Mexico.

That's insane.

If you were using it as an insult then yes if not then how is it different than calling someone an American?

Insane or not, Mexicans consider it an insult to call people from South America, Mexican, as they consider people from South America to be lazy and dumb. It would be like calling a black man, white, in our society.
