I grew up in _____, FL. The high school I went to had over 2,000 students and was very diverse. My family and I moved to _____, NC when I was 17. The high school I transferred to (good ol' _____ High School) was not as culturally advanced. I was sitting in class one day and someone asked me if I spoke Mexican. Now, besides the fact that I'm not Mexican; I'm Puerto Rican, I just could not believe the ignorance that came out of this persons mouth. My immediate response was "Do you speak United States?" Of course not. I do not speak Mexican or Puerto Rican, I speak spanish. I probably was having some type of off day but it still pissed me off.
