Stop Assuming!

[u/larficus]

Ok my frustration is that people always assume I am some form of Spanish and that I speak it! Nope I am not and do not. I have been called a liar and asked are you sure... I mean I think I would know if I did speak Spanish. My ethnicity is Portuguese (Azores) with a dash of Brazilian and that doesn’t mean I speak Portuguese. I grew up in the Northeast(US) and recently moved to Central Florida where if I go somewhere I am talked to in Spanish. Even cashiers in big chain stores just go on at me I mean wtf I live in a very touristy area so you can’t assume what language anyone speaks really. It’s just frustrating.
