5. In the end it doesn't really matter how
it is meant....only how it is perceived. Not only in this case, but in any case where a name is applied to a group of people. If 'some' perceive it as derogatory, then it probably shouldn't be used, especially during this march. I'm always called 'La Gringa', or 'La flaca' and it doesn't bother me because I understand what is meant.
