Woman harassed for speaking Spanish l First broadcast on 06/21/2013 

Yes! It's like when people say "You're Spanish" Spanish is the name of a language not a race.

This is so true

notinservice Well, people from Spain are spanish.

Exactly; English is actually the foreign language.

@@Hector-ie8pt that's a nationality not a race

LMAO

Lol that was bothering me so bad...I was glad the guy near the end finally said it!!

I noticed that

I'm an American, I speak American. I spell "colour" as "color" and "favourite" as favorite and so on. See?

Are you people dumb? He’s an actor

True, although in England, they call it American Englsih.

@@pep590 As someone from Ireland who lives in England, it is just called English. Even within Europe, it is referred to as English and not American English.

@@airbornepaddy993 I don't doubt your experience, that's just not mine. I even have come across people who teach English on RU-vid and I've heard them tell their students that their instruction is from British English and not American English..their words, she said in British English, these are called biscuits and in American English, they are called cookies. British English calls this a lift and American English calls it an elevator, etc. She had other examples. Not everyone does this of course, but a large number do in my opinion. I remember in Germany in a large parking garage, they had instructions how to turn your parking ticket into the machine, how to pay and then how to exit. There was at least German, French and Spanish signs. There would also be that country's flag next to the sign of that country's language. I was surprised to also see two other signs both in English, but the wording was quite different. One sign had the USA flag and the other was the Union Jack flag. They certainly felt a need to differentiate the two signs of English words.

@@airbornepaddy993 They mean the variation that the Americans speak

That man was so hott

Not only that, but it's great for the mind.

I never really was able to speak any other language, but after living in Europe for 11 years I was able to regain my ability to speak Russian, learned Spanish, a bit of Italian, French, and German. My wife speaks 9 languages as do all my children, and they can work and go anywhere.

I got a raise because I can speak Spanish

That´s not the point, not eveyone has the time and opportunity to learn another language. I´m blessed to be born in a family that gave me the means to study and learn. The issue here is not to berate someone because they cannot speak the language of the country. Many issues may lie behind that reason.

@@lpst4405if you have time to go to the gym, or time to watch tv for an hour. You have time to learn a language. Don’t promote laziness.

There's no such a thing as Native Americans. Even the Indians migrated from Russia/Asia

Ultimate Keyboard Warrior everyone comes from all over the place man calm your shit

Ultimate Keyboard Warrior there’s no natives anywhere then except Africa. don’t be dense

@@ghost_cities Except East Africa then. Even more ridiculous

Ultimate Keyboard Warrior So are we all Africans than? Because we all migrated from Africa. I get what you’re trying to say, but if you say that than you’re saying we’re all Africans.

Underrated lmao

😂😂

Yup, and sometimes, talking to the manger in these situations is much better so that you don’t personally interact with the hostile and ignorant people

@@hope.0oo Yea, this is true. the person could like, idk, bring out a knife. then it would be important to have some backup.

It's Irrational the useful Karen

No kidding, I saw people who have been fimed saying that!

@MyTribe T.V All Out Attack i know 😁

the United States does not have an official language, the most commonly used language is English

Everyone who says American instead of English 💀

You need to learn how to speak American ! Huh you need to learn how to speak English

like a boss answer

The curious thing is that not even english is an english thing! It's a germanic-latin-french kind of mix if I'm not wrong. And I know that banana, cobra and mosquito are portuguese words!

Whites are not a growing group of people, by 2050 they no longer will be the majority.

Hélder Lemos and don’t forget that Greek has big influence in English too

@@sharkiboi8167 as well as Arabic!!

If I hear someone speaking Spanish, I will try hard to decipher what the person is saying. Spanish is not just Mexican Spanish tbh :V. Also Spanish has more dialects than English and more widespread 😂🤣

Yes, do you find that most people in the south actually have to deal with their communities in a more personal way than many more populated places? I find that an interesting question.

So because it never happens to you it never happened

Hood doodz r CRAAZZYY bruh 🤣

He's really good, even played a part on House of Cards

idk he was a little bit too good 😅

Can't imagine the confusion I'll get when i meet him in real life while he is being decent and normal, despite knowing right now and even then that he was just acting 😡🤔🧐

That is being American surely?

He's done the villain routine in various forms on WWYD over the years. Yeah, he nailed this part.

Yajaira Gonzalez 😂 me too....

Me too. You know they are good when when you want strangle them.

but the fact that there are people like this is so fu*king killing my nerves

Why? Its a simple concept. Like your pleases and your thank you. When you immigrate to a country, you learn their language

He should be asked "plata o plomo"? Hahaha

AlvinHarewood Tv u know it’s actually just acting right?

Shut the fuck uck up

AlvinHarewood Tv love this!!! When he said it! Dumb ignorant people who always say that, “speak American” no you numb nuts! It’s English

There isn't even an official language in the United States. Most immigrants are bilingual or multilingual, which makes them more educated and more marketable than the 'average American'.

@@jmurdock8303 You are a disgrace to the humanity ugly racist ignorant twat I see absolutely nothing wrong with Mexicans or any other race take your ignorance some other place.

For real I'm over here ready to fight

We're all ready to punch someone

Etika Rip Lol same.

They are good actors. I would knock them out

that's the point, that means they're good actors and you're a person with a brain.

Good comeback, I hope that humbled your friend. I don't know if I would have had the patience to sit with that friend if they did that...I probably would have just left at that point because I figure that's not someone I'd want to continue to be friends with.

And then everyone clapped

¡Buenos dias a todos! Vale Entoces ahora vamos a .... Every single lesson in my spanish classes.

Drini Nasufi-Hodza oh my god. I’m taking Spanish now and that’s all Ms.Amaya say’s 😂

Seaturtles 420 Its so funny because he probably has no idea what Buenos Dias means or that he thinks it means goodbye, these actors make me laugh so hard, welp, adios for now

@Hector Aldozar Do you mean... pvta? lol

LT O ? no

@Trouvaillx how is it confusing?

A giant melting pot.

Tip culture is horrible.

Nigmode calm down

VC same bro

Straight fax

Period

As it should be my friend :) Now, on the flip side, if you have someone purposefully making it look like they don't speak good english (But actually do) just to be a bully or whatnot (It happened to me), then people can get a free pass :) I know they say don't fight fire with fire or don't do the whole eye for an eye thing, but there are quite a few times where you've godda do just that, otherwise, the harassment just ain't gonna stop and will probably keep getting worse as they know what they can get away with, the more you can be pushed, the more they will push...

mhm i know english ofc and spanish and im learning korean and french..just wanted to put it out there

So true - Also helps improve memory - I work with Romanians that speak a minimum of 3 languages - They are sharp -

A • ಠ_ಠ dude I hate being able to only speak one language. French here I come 🤪

@@GSGExtreme44 Romanian here , learnt italian very quick when my family migrated there ,forgot it after i returned because I haven't used it since , but from time to time random italian words come to my mind ,i'm sure that if I'll start learning Spanish I will get it very quick because it is almost like italian and is a latinic language like romanian ,also improving my language every day .

@@irimiavali211 Foarte bine!

Erm it’s lesson time what u expect

It’s a safety protocol in school.

Ánimo puro adelante

What I would do is look right at her and go OK go look at the US constitution and tell me word says that

I am so tired of hearing this remark when factually your teacher was charged with teaching you English. I would bet your parents were expecting you to learn and speak English at school but not to say teachers can’t hurt children’s feelings very easily and that is wrong. Students talking English only to their peers at school is a wonderful way to enable learning because if you speak Spanish to your friends and another group speaks Russian to each other it results in less people speaking English fluently. Thinking you speak a language fluently does not mean that you actually do speak it fluently. If you didn’t speak it at school you missed an opportunity. My generation of teachers were prohibited from telling students to speak English only so that remark wouldn’t have been made but I think it has hurt all of us in the long run. One problem I noticed was that I would have classes where only two or three students were native English speakers.

british are like that too

This is the general americans in america not all

We have no language in the United States

Lol right!!!

Fucking exactly

Everyone has your back, trust me. You have more support than you realize. People who experience racism always feels the feel seeing it happen to someone else.

That had me so weak bro he played that role really well

The worse part is that when they go to another country they are like "Um, can you like speak English, like, I don't understand you".

This is so lit 😅😂😂

And English didn't came from America even

I know this part drives me nuts if you can't have it both ways when I go to another country I learn basic greetings so that I'm at least trying you can't just show up at somebody's house and demand it to be how you want

@@soonamisapphire2425 type of people to go to ur house and expect u to be some sort of servant 😂

Well I mean, technically it does, the accepted language is English that all public signs, documents, laws, and broadcasts are in. But there are also many other languages spoken by minorities and foreign ethnic groups such as Spanish or German or other European languages in example

🤔🤔🤔🤔 I didn’t know that.

@@DanielW607 I think what he means is that the United States isn’t required by law to be able to read and speak English unlike other countries where you are required to. So in technicality the United States does not have an official language.

@@agent1149 by that logic practically no country has a official language.

🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️ correct

false, it was early norse, possibly proto-irish. but i get your point.

dibby false. But I can understand why you’d would say that.

@@ginihall1234 then what was it besides norse?

@@redkingoldhero38 if you want to get super technical then yes first Euro language spoken on the American continent/s was old norse but you know theres obviously a world of difference between some expeditions and the Hispanic legacy everywhere in the Americas that the jud30-anglo media always try and downplay

@@FlyingNazgul-wm1dv I never compared the colonization of america by the spanish to expeditions by the norse. I simply stated that OPs comment is wrong because it is. that's that. besides idk where this was filmed in america, obviously the south but. the french colonized a lot of land before the spanish did, id say the french legacy is the one down played by media.

lol he’s funny

Ik I snorted when he said that

I speak Spanish, and it's actually very common to say that while leaving, it's like a short "have a good day"

He was trying to act like an ignorant a-hole, so that was most likely done on purpose. That was great acting, misusing the Spanish language really helped create that racist character.

Smh 😂 he sure knows how to play a dickhead .

LMFAOOO I DIED WHEN HE SAID beunos días 😭

homeboy got carried away with the role 😂

LMAO DEADASS

@@mustafa-cx2fg bro fr LMFAO he got really into his role

@@rocioayala7349 😂😂😂 actually in spanish you can say that when you leave a place too, its like "good morning" and also "have a nice day", but its not common

Ok

And america doesn't have an official language

Reminds me of the dumb girl who suggested we all learn "American-ish". Whatever that means.

RockMusicLover329 LOL right? I remember Pupinia.

jorge salazar UK doesn’t either

How the turn tables

True but English is not even the national language of America because America doesn’t have one lol we love Americans that don’t know their own country 😂😂.

pretty much

Katherine did you not read it, i told you i already knew

here in mexico we also say "buenos dias" when we are leaving a place, so his acting was acurate

@@mauriciozamora That's pretty much like saying "good day", which sort of fits? But it was still pretty funny.

@@jupiter8037 yeah, pretty much, but it still means good morning which is a greeting and not a goodbye

Mexican mom would’ve taken off her chancla

@Kimberly Monique The kid was born in Texas and likely his ancestors were living in what is now called Texas, hence "native Texan" and besides "Mexican" is not a race because Mexico is more diverse then you've been lead to believe. There are white (European Mexicans), mixed race Mexicans, black Mexicans and even Asian Mexicans. Maybe your a "racist".

Racism still exists and I hate it 😡😡😡😡😡😡

Sing the national anthem is about as patriotic As It Gets kudos to that kid

Yeah like he did really good!!!

@Kimberly Monique the kid is not mexican, he has mexican ancestry but he was born in the US

If I don't deserve it you don't deserve either cuz this land ain't yours it belongs to the native Americans

@@suns524 It's pretty ironic that some would say that too. Burgers aren't "all-American", they're German. Going off of their logic, the people who do think that way, that would mean nobody deserves it.

Mavra yes people do speak to and talk about kids that way

America is diverse so the chances of stupid people to live there too, is huge.

Absolutely agreed! But there's a fine line between encouraging and being a 💩 about it. If someone doesn't speak your language be patient and kind anyways until they do. You never know if they are JUST learning the language and that does NOT happen in a day. It takes time, specially adults. Being a total 💩 actually discourages anyone to learn but certain people don't get that...

The official language is English!!! If non Spanish speakers went to their country they would have to learn the language of the country. Period!

@k0p it's literally true. The United States has no official language. While English is the most common language, and it would be difficult to navigate without knowing English at all, it still doesn't make it a requirement to know. Plenty of people live in places where they need no English (China towns are a great example of this).
