    I’ve lived in Texas as long as I can remember, but I was born in California.

    Spanish finds it’s way into my everyday speech constantly.

    My family is white as fuck, but my mother became fluent in college.

    I took Spanish in high school for my foreign language credits.

    While I’m not fluent, I’ve worked closely with people who primarily speak Spanish with a little broken English.

    The little bit of Spanish I recall, and the little bit of English they know, allowed us to work together.

    Is that irritating?

      no, speaking a second language to communicate with others isn’t irritating, especially in the southern and SW US, where Spanish is so common.

      why did you feel that someone, using a foreign word, to look cool, was similar to you using a second language, to communicate with its native speakers? Honest question here. That seems like a big leap in logic to me.
