Seriously, I’ve been called an ILLEGAL for being from a Spanish-speaking country and coming to the U.S. with paperwork. Also, my friend’s weird dad saw my name on a social media account when my friend was texting me and he said I was a “typical Mexican”. I am a white European Spanish woman, why do people assume I’m automatically Mexican?

    Living in the U.S. I’ve met Spanish speakers from many countries. I must admit I haven’t met one from Spain. Also, no one is illegal on stolen land.

      people from spain speak english with distinct accent, and they are more likely to know english.

      a lot of highly educated spanish citizens come here for research jobs since the spanish economy is awful.
