Mayate definitely is a derogatory term used to demean Africans & African Americans. A Mayate is a black dung beetle & it's name has become an insult towards Black people
To qoute from shawe.com
"Of particular interest in this case is the fact that the racial slurs were made in a foreign language. The Black employee, although he only had limited knowledge of Spanish, was aware of how derogatory the term “mayate” was. But even if he had not been, the other Spanish-speaking employees in the workplace clearly were. To the extent that an employer is aware that inappropriate language is being used in the workplace – even in another language – it is important to take prompt action to stop it."
Yes it was once used to demean gay males. There is also a bright & flashy green Mayate bug so that's probably how it also became a derogatory term for homosexuals
There is nothing I project that is gay & below is how the term was used in reference to me today. Clerk didn't know I understood a little bit of Spanish
Its crazy to see so many Mexican people deny its a term used primarily to demean Blacks now. I'm like wtf😂ain't no body stupid.

In the Spanish Language, the word is used to denote a person of Sub-Saharan African ancestry or equally it can be used to denote a Homosexual Male of any race.

In Mexico, a mayate is a bisexual man who won't ever accept he likes men, he will proudly life a heterosexual life but in secret meet gay men for casual sex. It is not offensive but mostly funny. It has absolutely nothing to do with race or skin color.
- Who's that guy? (in Spanish, of course)
- Alicia's boyfriend. They say he's mayate (he sleeps with guys in secret).

it's Mexican Slang for referring to homosexuals. UNlIKE many people who believe mayate means someone who is Dark-skinned.
