Mayan Lopez - "Lopez vs. Lopez" | The Daily Show 

What a horrible idea !! Does John want to completely destroy his come back with these 2 plank dumb woke diversity hires. Its obvious that he is trying to win back ground after criticising the Democrats.

Agreed!!!

Does she speak Aztec, Mayan, or any American languages? Do you? I started learning Taino to help my Puerto Rican co workers understand who they are. I’m African, so, it was a feat.

There is only one "American" language...... and she is speaking it...English...in this interview.

@@mauricepowers3804 okay buddy

I definitely understand that. I'm guessing you're on the east coast, because you're referring to all Spanish speakers as "Spanish". It's a thing here, but it's wrong. Only people from Spain are "Spanish". (And yes, I know there's a whole debate on what to use)

@@LindaC616 correct there’s a debate on why Brazilians (where I am originally from) are Latinos but not spanish since we are the only country in South America that doesn’t speak spanish. It can become a heated debate, worse than politics and religion lol

@JANESANTOSPHYSIQUEPRO right, but to me, the worst offense is someone who is from New York City whose family is Colombian calling another Spanish speaker whose family might be from Argentina or Mexico "Spanish"

It's very simple. You are definitely not Spanish because your origin is from Portugal. Not Spain and you speak Portuguese. Those who feel It's complicated know nothing of history. You are a Latina but not Spanish and you are South American from Brazil of Portugal decent. You are an American from the South side. 😆 They want classify you but they don't know how because of their ignorance. Not yours.

Brazilians don't speak spanish

I... I'm not sure about that. I can only speak for my latino community right, from my personal experience. And here's the deal so far as I can see: if you don't speak Spanish, and go to... I don't know, Mexico, Guatemala, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Salvador, Belize, etc.... you are going to be absolutely left out. If you are genetically a Latina living in the US, trying to learn about your heritage, ok. But you are not exactly part of the community as proud as you can be of your family and your roots. Put her in Mexico . She would be totally and completely out of touch of the actual Latino reality. You need to understand, if she is unable to communicate in any Latino language and doesn't live in Latin America... she is not... totally, exactly, a Latina. Even the native people who only speak native languages and no Spanish at all are extremely more connected to our Latino culture, lifestyle and overall reality. She is a totally different case. The fact that she is trying to learn the language from Duolingo and not from family and friends... the fact that she wasn't taught by anyone else before she tried a modern mobile app... tells you everything you need to know about how disconnected she is from Latin America. Are we going to argue genetics? then yeah, she clearly is a Latina and you can see it from a mile away. Absolutely undeniable. But we cannot close the case there. Stop being afraid of saying things as they are. Political correctness is a great idea until it stops you from having real conversations, afraid of what they would think. If I was her at this stage in her life? I would simply say: I'm trying to finally reconnect with my roots. That's more like it. I wouldn't call myself a Latina like if it was nothing. Like if it was just about genetics.

Let's not use your valid argument of how disconnected she is, as a justification for discrimination.

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

If her looks make her undeniably Latina then she is Latina!!!!!!! Quit putting all your rules on her!!!! Your comments border on racism!!! She can speak for herself!!!!

@@IsuiGtz Speaking of learning, they don't speak Spanish in Belize.

I love Mayans, and all real Americans. One, from the African brothers.

Apartheid. We are considered the "born-frees" in South Africa, but we are still feeling its effects. Still experiencing racism and inequality as the majority in our country

Palestinian.

Wow he said that. you taught me so much

Hey you seem to have had to misspell words. why is that? but you inspire me and im happy we need to communicate like this on here

@@Itsdifferent-wv4joa fascinating statement to make considering the video you are allegedly watching. Having created an account only a few months ago.

@@joycelynnelobert8779 I am sorry if this offended anyone, I love blacks and I have many friends of them

@@joycelynnelobert8779 and I'm not trying to make any controversial comments, I'm writing facts

American English... That's it. She's working on Spanish.

@@john2g1 English is European, wow. So is Spanish, European, where did you get your education??

@@gastonneal724 There's this thing called dialects. If you've ever heard Welsh English and New Zealand English it would be easier for you to understand.

@@john2g1 they are STILL European. What does dialect have to do will it? English French, German, Russian, it doesn’t matter. Those are all still European. Like Swahili is African, like Chinese and INDIAN are Asian, like Aztec is American. The world is not Europe, even though their fighting has been called world wars. Still think the world revolves around you huh?

@@gastonneal724 Okay... I don't know where to begin... Louisiana Creole is technically French, but it's different enough that it's a different dialect. Haitian Creole is technically French, but it's different enough that it's a different dialect. There is no such language as Chinese; that's a nationality. However, there are dialects of Mandarin (the language spoke by most Chinese nationals) that are so different from each another that a person from one small village would be unable to understand a person from another small village even though they are both speaking Mandarin. Even when speaking Spanish a Cuban might not be easily understood by a Guatemalan and both might be difficult to understand by Spaniards from Spain. I have no idea why you're making a big deal out of this. Just ask an American and a Brit what they think these words mean: Biscuit Scone Cookie Crisp Chip The answer will be different because one person speaks traditional English and the other American English.

Even as an American it sounds weird. Pretty sure no one calls us hisBritish.

​@john2g1 well, at least she's not committing the east coast mistake and calling all Spanish speakers "Spanish".

i think it was adopted in Nixon era, i know right, I'm deff not HIS-panic 😆 also it is derived from an old name for spain, Hispania or the Latin (language)word for Spanish, Hispanica.....most Latinos, myself included reject hispanic cuz it highlights our ties to the white spaniards and tries to erase our indigenous heritage & Latin american roots.....it's a further continuation of the centuries long "white-washing" of Latin America that began the second the conquistadores stepped on land

@@LindaC616 funny thing is there isn't much of a difference between the two. Hispanic is "of Spain" and Spanish is Spanish. No thanks, I prefer to not be described by my former colonizers even if I speak their language. I'm speaking in general as far as I know don't have any Central, Caribbean, or South American ancestry. However, that's the "beauty" of Black America: you have no idea until you take a DNA test.

@john2g1 your first sentence is way off base (does it read like you want it to read?), I agree with the rest.

Cool quote!

@@WhataMensch You should see the fist part YT wont let me show you!

This was the slowest interview I've seen on the channel in a while

@@LindaC616 It was fun and I loved it.

Wait till you learn about Oct 6th and 5th and 4th and 3rd, going back 75 years. Educate yourself.... Trust me, it is not as hard as you think.

@@jenifernaidoo7231 Where are the hostages ? They are starving

​@@Itsdifferent-wv4jo Why must we ignore one group of victims in this situation in order to recognize another? The Palestinian people are dying by the tens of thousands while the terrorist organization parading as an elected government use them as human shields, while Israel acts as though they are not human as they blow them up by the thousands and starve the rest. Israel has lost the moral high ground at this point. No one has forgotten about the hostages,but maybe if Israel wasn't commiting war crimes against a defenseless civilian community, there would be more focus on those hostages.

@@Itsdifferent-wv4jo There are 30000+ dead Palestinians who if able to speak would trade places with those 130 hostages in a heartbeat. How many murdered women & children are enough for the bloodthirsty facists in the Israeli government? Bibi & his cabinet of war criminals don't care about the hostages, even the hostage families have finally worked that out.

@@Itsdifferent-wv4jo where's your brain.

Painful and disrespectful to actual Latinos.

A very slow interview

Exactly my thoughts. Only you put them out in a very poetic way unlike me, replying to one of the comments above saying how racist it is to... speak out the truth, basically. It's not racist to say she doesn't represent us. Only an actual Latino would understand how disconnected she is. She doesn't even care. She only plays the Latino card to have a place in media. To think she could be able to represent the Latino community is absolutely disrespectful.

So you fluently speak one of the hundreds of K'iche languages? If you don't or don't speak another branch, you're only speaking the language of the colonizing oppressor, not the indigenous people, and maybe you should reconsider all of your judgement. We speak the language of our environment. That doesn't make it less authentic.
