That's like calling a Welsh person British. They take real offense to that

No, but the media would because you can't hurt anyone's feelings anymore

Personally I do find it to be ignorant on your part, the O.P. Lucha Libre is the spanish word for Freestyle wrestling. You could have easily told your mom you were watching wrestling. BUT as a baby you're blind to the world so you just said Mexican wrestling. However if you were older than you were either ignorant or racist.
I could call wwe American wrestling but then that would apply to Lucha Libre as well, as Mexico is part of North America. And if I called wwe American wrestling then that would be ignorance on my part because the name wwe itself tells you it's WORLD wrestling.
I feel it was more ignorance on your part as a kid, but that ignorance was prob fueled by what you saw either in school or at home.
And then last, anyone calling Lucha Libre a Mexican product is wrong. CMLL and or AAA are the two major wrestling companys that feature "Lucha Libre", both of those companys run shows in United States so it's not exclusive to Mexico. And Univision is a spanish language television station so that's not Mexican either.
It's an ignorance that bothers me because people are either being blind and ignorant, OR they know better and are doing it to be racist right out, OR they are doing it to be a racist behind the facade of being ignorant. It's on the same level as calling every Asian a chinaman or every Anglo a British guy. I can see how a child is innocent and blind to how the world is devided into different peoples, but at some point that child needs to wake up.

I am so tired of the political correctness in the world today. The thing is that technology has made the world a much smaller place. So in order to be a better citizen of the world you should learn to respect other peoples and their cultures. Or just say you hate political correctness and then have random strangers call you a racist.
