Sorry, I don't really consider use of the word mojado (Spanish for wetback) and techno-coolies to be necessarily racist. Especially when they're used in a story like this:

importing vast numbers of young code-writers – what in the Silicon Valley has been sometimes referred to as "techno-coolies"

Now, "Texmex" is offensive. Have you ever seen Portlandia? Some folks are just too sensitive to act like normal people.
