Is it rude to already assume (by skin color) someone speaks a certain language? (Page 2)

Question

I know some loose Spanish phrases and sentences (not a fluent conversation) but my accent sucks.  Just because I'm a non-white (some indigenous features) Mexican-American, all of the sudden certain latinos were asking me things in Spanish. Someone else apparently had trouble locating from an address.  Sometimes I get the ''what, you look 100% latina and you can't speak Spanish, is this a joke''? So just because of my physical features, why should I know Spanish? I'm an American.

Big deal. Strangers can obviously see I have Latino features and they automatically begin to talk to me in Spanish which I love by the way since I adore Spanish.
