They were not being rude. It’s common in Latin culture to comment on physical appearance. Adding the ‘ita’ or ‘ito’ on the end of it signifies an intention to regard your physical traits as endearing or cute, such as morenita (little brown one) flaquita (slim little one) or guerita (fair-skinned little one). It has no more an offensive or rude intent than someone in the United States saying ‘lefty.’ Lots of Mexican men find voluptuous or full-figured women very appealing, and they were probably trying to flirt with you. It’s a shame you didn’t know more about the culture before you completely misjudged what was happening to you. You might try something very common sense like asking people what they mean by a comment instead of projecting your own cultural presumptions upon it next time. As for the sex comments, here’s something that might surprise you: Americans have a reputation in Mexico for being oversexed, probably because so many of them come to the border towns looking for cheap prostitutes. Blame American males for that.
