I js found out the slur for my ppl and I can’t stop laughing ToT

OK THE TITLE SOUNDS RLLY BAD BUT LEMME EXPLAIN LMAO

For all of yall who aren’t aware, I come from Mexican-American heritage, specifically tejano heritage. I live on the border so racism towards us isnt very common since only like 2 percent of my town is Caucasian and most of them are pretty chill. This means I haven’t been super exposed to slurs like that so when I looked up the slur I was like “tf what kind of silly ahh ppl used this??” Like I’m used to slurs being deeply rooted in cultures so for the slur for Mexicans to be what it is, is just so funny to me ToT  ToT

Like I fully understand it has some very very deeply offensive and hurtful roots, but I can’t stop smiling whenever I think of it. Like if someone ever called me that I’d be laughing my fckin ass off, it’s such a silly word omfg ToT
