That is a derogatory term here in California. But I think you're pulling my leg on that one.

"I got dissed for calling them wet backs in CA."

As a Calif. liberal, I got that treatment from my folks when I was young, living in Bakersfield. Once we moved to the Bay Area in '55, I don't think I heard the term again until Don Young used it.
