'Spick' comes from the derogatory name for the Irish - 'Mick'. Irish and Hispanics are both dominantly catholic. In the 1900's when Irish immigrants had pretty much been well established, but still hated by many Americans, was also the time when many Hispanic immigrants made their entry into America. They ended up sharing Irish churches, schools and neighborhoods due to the catholic faith and moral values we had in common. When early Americans saw this, they began calling hispanics "spicks" (Like a spanish Mick) for hanging around them.
