Search Results: spanish accents

My friend and his co-worker just got fired last week for discrimination. In a conversation they were referring to a Mexican lady as another dirty and ignorant wetback wasting people's time. Since the lady is seen speaking Spanish with other hispanics they assumed she couldn't understand.

They were shocked when she recorded it and decided to report them in English without a translator. She just feels more comfortable in Spanish but can speak English (with an accent but understandable) if needed. She corrected them by saying she's actually an LPR but studies English to get her citizenship. Both were shocked. She's only been living here for 4 years.

Is it surprising when some of them are catching up and learning English slightly faster?

MY mother, aunt, several female friends and my 1st year of college (worthless women's studies classes) influenced my upbringing. That's all I ever knew.

The very first thing my mother ever told me about guys (I was 4 at the time) was that I could tame him. She used to make me repeat the phrases ''I got the power to tame a boy''. Then immigrants (esp the native Spanish speakers that knew little or no English after 10+ years) were hated in the household.

So what changed me? Not going into details but I had an accident 3 years ago and if it wasn't for a Mexican guy, I'm not sure if I would be here typing today. He had a strong accent (spoke in broken English with some Spanish) but I did managed to understand a couple Spanish words too. I have him as a friend on fb till this day.

So let's say we're dating and you knew I was like that in the past (not anymore though), would you date me?
