A long-shot possibility: is "Mexican shower" derived from "Mexican divorce",
as both are notoriously quick?

PS. Re ethnic slurs on Netherlanders, there is the following (from a folk (?)
song that I learned as "Blow Ye Winds High Ho")
"The cook was Dutch
And behaved as such
For all he fed the crew
Was a couple of tons
Of hot cross buns
All mixed with sugar and glue"
