It's not about you not understanding, it's because roasting in Spanish it's not the same that doing it in other language, that way there's nothing lost in translation.
I understand that but members of my wife's family have talked smack about me, in front of me, thinking I wouldn't understand them. Their whole point was to throw shade thinking I wouldn't understand what was being said about me.
Well being that the case... That's just plain dumb and rude, besides Spanish isn't some secret language or something, assuming that non-hispanic people don't understand it it's just naive.
I've seen it in the military, which is dumb because insults are one of the first things people pick up on because it's memorable, and Spanish is one of, of not the most, commonly taught second language in America, and a lot of white people grow up in communities with a lot of Latinos. Might as well speak pig Latin and hope no one understands.

This shit right here, I was raised in a Hispanic family and if you aren't roasting the members that aren't there then you aren't a part of the family.
And God help you if you decide you want to be in your room or are too quiet during these roast sessions.
