I hear it from my father all the time, has no idea why it bothers me either, despite trying to explain it to him.
I think i said this before, but he's one of the holdout dixiecrats basically.Only votes democrat because of support for labor unions. Here in the south i hear Mexicans used all the time, i hardly ever hear anyone say illegal immigrant/alien.
