Calling a Mexican a Spaniard is like calling somebody from the US

Anything wrong with calling a 1980 Mariel Cuban prisoner a "Beaner"?

That's generally considered offensive, racist, and ignorant.

No - that's considered a Politcally Correct way of thinking. It's neither
ignorant, nor is it offensive, unless someone like yourself decides to
declare it so. But - your declaration does not make it reality. I would
argue that regardless of the PC community, things like this are not at all
"generally considered" to be the way you view them.
