Totally Estupido, Part 2
College & University | Learning | October 23, 2015
(I’m at a beginner Spanish class. I’m Hispanic and it shows. The teacher approaches me.)
Teacher: “I don’t think that you should be here.”
Me: “Why not?”
Teacher: “You’re Hispanic?”
Me: “Yes, biologically, but I was adopted by uh, English-speaking parents.”
Teacher: “But you’re Hispanic! You should be in an advanced class!”
(Sadly, she wasn’t the first nor the last to assume that I could speak Spanish!)
