    I’m surprised you haven’t heard of these names being used as epithets before. Maybe epithets is a bit of a strong way of saying it, but white racists routinely use these names as generic indicators for Mexicans. Remember Pat Buchanan baiting Latinos with his speeches saying ‘Jose, we’re not letting you in [the United States] anymore!’ Chances are, these whites had heard the names used that way by fellow whites who were racists, and assumed you were using them the same way. I don’t think they were racists themselves, though, or they wouldn’t have objected. If they were racists, they would have cheered or laughed.
