Little old ladies, Latina old ladies walking up and talking to me in Spanish and then when I go, Lo siento, no habla espanol - I get a scolding about not learning my mother tongue and how easy it is and how I'm making my mother cry.

What really knocked me for a loop, however, was about a year or so ago I got on Greyhound and someone Latino, despite the fact that I now wear dreads, started talking to me in Spanish, and then giving me the same lecture about how easy it was to learn.

It's not like I give them a lecture back about my great grandfather being the one from Venezuela (not me) and asking where are they seeing this Spanish influence?

*shakes head*

I deal with this all the time and yet I don't talk about it online much at all and I try not to think about it so much.
