[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m Latina. People say hola and gracias to me all the time. It’s not racist but their way of trying to be friendly and make a connection. It’s not racism and it’s not a micro aggression. [/quote]

They're saying it based on your Mayan or inca Latina looks. A Latina went up to an Asian lady in my area and started speaking to her in Spanish. After she was done the Asian lady looked pissed and told her she wasn't Hispanic.[/quote]

Of course it’s based on her looks. That’s the whole point. PP is not offended (because she sounds astonishingly normal). Take a lesson. [/quote]

It's obvious you're not Hispanic. No Hispanic wants to be perceived as Mayan or incan. Heck Latinos who are Salvadoran don't want to be called Mexican or vice versa. It's a major offense. You're just another white person trying to justify acting an idiot. It's not like I go around speaking German or Russian to white people. [/quote]

What do you mean no Hispanic wants to be perceived as Mayan or Incan? Lol I’m the Latina/Hispanic PP and proudly Maya from Mexico. People in this area tend to think I’m Salvadoran because that’s the predominant group. I don’t get offended because there’s nothing wrong with being from El Salvador or Guatemala or Bolivia.

Getting back to the original point- people are trying to reach out, make connections and be friendly. [/quote]

N.adie quiere el look Indio is what I mean. I don't want to connect with idiots so ignore their dumb quips.[/quote]
