Ok well I'm Puertorican and I was on Omegle the other day and every time I said "hey do you speak Spanish" people freaked and started calling me Mexican and that I should get out of the states because I'm stealing jobs. This is not the first time it has happened when I'm walking in the street I just ask my mom for something in Spanish and people start screaming at us calling us illegal and other stuff I cant say in here.
"Only an American would fault you for speaking another language" ...i never said that, no im not making this up and im from Chicago

Also- Why should you never write someone's name in Red ink according to Mexican belief/etiquette? Thanks to All who answer.

Okay like every time I speak to a Mexican I totally understand what they say. If you do not understand them then you are like really stupid because I do. Okay so you should start understanding them before you cannot understand them at all okay. Let's get along so we can stop fighting. Stop acting like children okay.

I mean we don't have to but it seems more and more importent for us to learn Spanish since they are coming from the south and pushing North. I'm kind of learning the language right now so. But I'm wondering why should we teach ourselves spanish. Why son't they just learn english if they want to come here so bad. If I was going to Latin America for what ever reason I'd just learn spanish for my own and their benifit. Immigration needs to be controlled before America is destroyed.
I agree Crystal, it's too bad political corectness keeps people from even voiceing their opinion
the reason why the number of spanish speaking people has grown is becuase over the last 2 decades they jumped the borders and all had 40 kids.
we should all listen to shelton he's a smart guy
I blame employers also for using jobs as bate for them to run over here. Everyone wants a worker for half price. These people need to either learn english or leave.

im a mexican but i just cant speak spanish and to put the charry on top i look white and not even one person in the family is white we all come from mexico

I'm Hispanic and white so don't think I’m being racist. I just don't get how some Latin American people talk with a heavy accent and they don't even speak Spanish. Is this some kind of trend? I know plenty of people like this. I don't know maybe I don't do this because my dad is not Mexican he is from Guatemala and I guess the way they sound is different i.e. like USA English to United Kingdom English

i am wanting to learn spanish..I took it in high school and know vocabulary, phrases, slang, and some mexican-spanish words, but I would like to learn conversational spanish...what would be the best way to learn? im open to anything!
thanks in advance

Hey guys, so there is a spice used a lot in Mexican food called cumin.I want to know the correct pronunciation of this word.I have heard "coo-man" and "cue-man". So I was wondering which is the correct way and which is the way most said.

Thank you.

I bought a windows computer, and the language is in Mexican. I don't know how to translate it. The words, features even if I turn It off. All in Mexican language. Don't know how to translate it. I needed a software asap. Thanks...

I have personally seen this many times. People really get upset if they are from say, Brazil, and are mistaken for a mexican. Is there some sort of elitism amongst south american countries that they feel they are better than mexicans. I have also heard plenty of people from Spain that think this way too. One person claimed that the "butchered" version of Spanish that Mexicans speak is basically slang. Anyway I think that explains what I'm trying to find out.
I wouldn't bother or offend me at all to be mistaken for a canadian.

it has to be easy to understand

If our nation becomes unsettled because of inner turmoil, will this makes us vulnerable to countries who would like to invade or destroy us? Is that why illegals are pouring in like water over Niagra? Is that why 30 % of illegals are other than Mexican? Is this about letting Mexico be the lead-in force for our downfall?

I made "Cuban" polvorones con canela and now I have to write a report on it but I don't know the difference the ones I made and others. The ingredients I used were: butter, white sugar, vanilla extract, pecans, cinnamon and powered sugar. Are these mexican polvorones? And what's the history? Please help!

Do you know or personally know any Mexicans (or any Hispanics in general) that speak out against illegal immigration?

name him the Mexican version of Patches, which is what his name is now....

a recent US Census Bureau survey shows 83% of the population of Texas is Mexican.

Jillian Reynolds on GDLA is always talking about some mexican restaurant she and her family like to go to...but i cant remember the name of it. they also went to it on the reality show her family was on called "househusbands of hollywood".

I really want to learn
Any sites that are free. is what I meant
Umm...but isn't Spains Spanish is different than Mexicos Spanish isn't it?

My husband's work has made it their policy that no one can speak spanish at work. The manager was asking all of the english speakers if they were annoyed by the spanish speakers. Today they handed out a policy letter to all employees not to speak spanish.
Do they have a legal right to do that or is it going against freedom of speech and it is discrimination??
There were no customers around- they work in a warehouse.

I'm always curious about this that is, what makes one country's cuisine more popular than the others.
Also why Italian cuisine is more popular than spanish one??
Immigration may counts, however, French cuisine is also popular not only in the US but in Japan and several countries. Spanish did conquer the world but not people's mouth. (Pourquoi?)
That is, there weren't many French immigrants in the US as compared to Mexican and Italian immigrants. But French cuisine is popular.

Spanish people ARE not brown. Why do they then speak mexican?
Ps, ive been to spain MANY times!

maybe there are several name for Panda...

I'm an English teacher and I'm looking for a song with some kind of descriptions about people (such as: he is pretty tall, she has blond hair, she has green eyes, etc)
I will appreciate your help.

Spanish is my second language, but I'm pretty much fluent since I used to live in Chile...the thing is, I understand Spanish when Mexicans from Mexico speak it, but for some reason it's difficult for me to understand Mexican American's when they speak Spanish.
This is stupid, but I'm serious...I'm wondering why this might be.
Thanks ^^

before you say i am racist please read i live in Green Bay,WI and we have several mexican people living in the city i'm sorry but if your a mexican living in america you should speak english and another thing is that some one sang the national anthem in spanish isn't that a disgrace to people who fought for america? does anyone agree with me?

For my history class I have to write a report of a Mexican national being lynched in the us. I cannot seem to find any please help

I'm part mexican, and I speak some spanish. And some Mexicans that i've met speak incredibly fast, I've seen it on television too, is it just me thinking this? Do they realize they talk fast?

I go to other sections and they are dead, because NOBODY cares about them.
Only EPL section comes close. Everyone comes an talks shet here (MFS), because there is nobody to talk to in thier weak azz section LMAO
