Never heard that before either, but personally, I would prefer not to travel to wherever immigrants are called roaches.

I haven't heard that word being used in years living around there and also being hispanic.

To me it just looks like parent is cherry-picking some domains to try and put words in their mouth.

If the person owns roaches.com out of hundreds of domains then you're going to try to make it racist so the owner looks racist?

I never understood why trying to make innocent things racist isn't considered racist itself.

lol Yeah you know more than me bud, because my initial intention clearly was to portray someone as a racist. it didn't just come up through organic conversation.

It's totally normal to own a domain like molest.com. Totes normal every day stuff. I'm totally crazy for cherrypicking a few! hehe!

I’ve only heard of hispanic comedians using it in recent years:

I first heard that joke in a 1990’s standup routine, fwiw. It could have been the same person telling the joke, I guess.

Anyway, it used to actually be used by white american racists; it’s been weakened to just self deprecating humor, kind of like jewish comedians like to tell jew jokes.
