Mexico is a country south of the United States, and many US immigrants are Mexicans, yet saying the word "Mexico" and calling something "Mexico" has become derogatory in California, so when and how did that happen?

That is not a California thing so much as an Orange County thing. California is not homogeneous and has some horrific neonazi enclaves. We call those shitholes Calibama. If you live in one, get out.
