I lived for 30 years in south florida, the is a very large spanish community there - multi-national, Cuban, Mexican, South American countries, And other island nations/countries. I've dated them all in the last few decades. The best thing to do in my opinion is to learn the language, and if you ask - ask "where are you from?"" Not - are you spanish. And always answer, how much you love spanish culture [of course that is if you do!] personally i find the spanish people to be very good people with good morals and work ethics and love of freinds and of course family. So for me it's not a problem.

You don't ask if someone is Chicano or "Anything"...don't assume
you ask a person to tell you their ethnic backround.....let them explain.... |

What was the point? I think that probably counts as rude... the point for me was curiosity. for him? not really sure. he said that he thought he heard an accent from her. she said she was from chicago, lol So how about..."are you from around here???" or maybe something like "you have a beautiful accent" or ??? I'm just thinking there are a lot of more creative ways to open that conversation more acceptable regardless of whether you thought this was specifically rude or not. Better safe than sorry , IMO...I don't want to hurt someone's feelings in a situation like that (hope I'm not hurting yours here, either ![]() |
