This is what I just found on Urban Dictionary...

A term used by members of the American Negro ethnic group (refered to later in history as colored, African-American, Black, FBA/ADOS) to describe African and/or Caribbean immigrants who move to America for economic opportunity using the benefits of the American Negro Civil Rights struggle while simultaneously disparaging the history, legacy, and lineage of the Negro American movement.
Oh ok well you know what; if they doing that then fuck them too …

Technically it refers to non naturalized immigrant's children born here as US citizens to "tether" the family to the country (historically made deportation more difficult). It's racially ambiguous.
They’re more accurately called “anchor babies “. But I see why they wanted it changed, as we don’t like accurate terminology anymore. It doesn’t help the Message.

Seee this is what happens when you have cats on ignore...never saw the word used there. Thanks for bringing it to light though.
You're right, and now those people are on ignore too :lol:

You know what? I think I was called a tether! :roflmao:

I said that I was voting for Kamala and he told me that I was a tether, from an island and that I was wearing sandals! :roflmao:

I have no idea where he got all that false information from because I only said that I was voting for Kamala :lol:

So yes, the word tether is definitely used as a slur in here.

I've never used that goofy word in my life and have only seen it used in either Alt-Right or grifter online spaces. Some additional definitions from Urban Dictionary...
