Mexican
Mexican is used as a slur when someone says it to mock, stereotype, or dehumanize a person of Mexican descent or anyone they want to frame with a racist jab.
In real conversation, this is not a casual descriptor when used this way, it's a racial insult. People usually throw it out to signal contempt, make someone sound lesser, or lean on ugly stereotypes for a cheap laugh, and it reads as openly racist fast.

What People Mean When They Say Mexican
The slur use of Mexican is aimed at identity, not behavior. It turns ethnicity into the insult, which is why it lands as prejudice instead of commentary.
Sometimes it gets used as lazy shorthand for anti-Latino mockery or to make someone seem foreign, poor, or unwelcome. That read is exactly why it hits so badly.
Where You'll See It
You usually see this in ugly arguments, racist jokes, comment sections, or people trying to be offensive on purpose. It is not a clever insult; it is a blunt one.
When someone uses it socially, the message is usually domination, exclusion, or mockery. In most settings, the speaker looks hateful or ignorant, not sharp.
Examples You'd Actually See
He kept calling my cousin Mexican like it was supposed to be funny.
Don't say Mexican like that, you're just being racist.
That comment was straight-up Mexican-level hate.
Smooth Delivery vs. Absolute Cringe
Works: He dropped a racist Mexican joke and everyone shut it down.
Avoid: I'm just using Mexican as a joke, relax. The second line sounds forced, defensive, and openly offensive.
Where Mexican Stands Now
The slur use is still instantly understood, but that is not a good thing. It feels old-school, crude, and hostile, which means people read it as racist baggage rather than edgy internet talk.
Related slang around this usage includes accountant.
