moamar123456789 asked: I was told the word "welch" or "welcher" is politically incorrect and is a demeaning word. Is this true?

Catie I answered: 'welch' was brought to America around 1855 - 1860

It was meant to mean to cheat by failing to pay a gambling debt.
The origin is unknown.

There is a time in American history when a lot of language used was not "politically correct" and considered to be demeaning. Although, people were unaware of the demeaning aspect of it.

"welch" was not to be confused with 'welsh' (the people of Wales). Although now days it has been left by the wayside to die a death that should have been sooner.

"welch" appears in the Webster Dictionary of 1862 with the meaning of to go back on one's word. Used here as an informal verb.

non descript answered: It dates back to the 30's and 40's. Somebody who "welches" on a deal doesn't pay back the money he owes or pay up on a bet.

Rarely used today. It is American slang. It would be the same as calling someone a cheater.
