I'm saying this as a Spanish speaker but sometimes the way other Latines are like "LEAARN SPANISH OR UR NOT REALLY LATINE" is so *SHAKING YOU SHAKING YOU SHAKING YOU*

#like is it cool that we made Spanish into our own things across latam? yes #and i DO think its important for 2nd gen+ latins in English predominant countries to hold on to #because of assimilation especially assimilation that comes from shame and racism #but like also lol are we forgetting that technically spanish (and Portuguese) IS the language of colonizers osksksmdsksk #like i dont get hung up on being proud of being a spanish speaker for that reason #im just like cool i can speak spanish cause my parents do no biggy #like i know this is probably over thinking but like idk this has always bothered me skdnskdkks
