People who eat cactus, [particularly] in Mexican cuisine, consume nopales (tender cactus pads) or tunas ([prickly pear] fruit). These are common, healthy foods prepared by removing spines, boiling, or grilling the pads, or eating the sweet fruit raw. In addition, many desert creatures, including javelinas, tortoises, and birds, feed on cactus pads or fruit for nourishment and hydration. There are works of art including books, songs and poems using “cactus eater” as a title including “The Cactus Eaters” by Dan White and the album “Cactus Eater” by Desert Tree House. Have [never heard] it used as derogatory, and I am native, myself. Would be news to me. Hope this helps.
