The term "wetback" is considered hate speech because it is derogatory and offensive towards Mexican immigrants, specifically those who have crossed the border by swimming or wading through water. It dehumanizes and demeans individuals based on their ethnicity and Immigration status, perpetuating harmful stereotypes and promoting discrimination. The use of this term is hurtful, disrespectful, and contributes to a hostile environment for those it targets.
