[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is the expression 'anchor baby' to describe the mechanism by which citizenship is obtained by being born on American soil to non American parents in any way shape or form.offensive? Am anchor keeps a ship safely berthed. There is zero negative connotation to the term anchor. How is it any more offensive than green card holder?[/quote] Yes, and I'm sure that you think that wetback merely describes the fact that when swimming in a river, one gets wet. Yet there it is, an ethnic slur. When you call a kid an anchor baby, you are saying that his purpose is to create a legal status which makes it hard to deport his family. You may even be implying that he was conceived for the purpose of doing that. In case you have any doubt, you will not hear people voluntarily calling themselves or their children anchor babies. That would be your first clue. [/quote]
