[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wondering as a moderate Hispanic born in DC with family who has been here since 1965. I encounter way too many people who assume we don't speak English even when my English is clearer than theirs. I got annoyed at one and she said , well you never know nowadays. [/quote] Are you not speaking English properly, or do you have an accent? Most people never even know I'm Hispanic because I grew up speaking primarily English, as my parents didn't want me to have an accent growing up here, so we told to speak mostly English even at home.
