Basically, when I say I don't like mexicans I never really feel like I'm hating "my people" even though I guess technically I am. What I really hate are mexican kids born and raised in the US (like myself) that mix spanish and english. That shit's just annoying.

That's just how we communicate with each other. Don't hate.

The more alcohol you get into me and the closer to the border I get I find that more Spanish starts to slip out.

Actually, if you talk like this, it shows you're a pretty damn competent in both languages (if you weren't I bet you wouldn't have bothered to say "tenemos" instead of "tener"). There's this farmer I know that mixes Japanese and Portuguese frenetically as she speaks - it's unbelievably amazing (and rather hard to follow ).

ORRRrrr you are just constantly, culturally surrounded by others who exhibit the exact same linguistic idiosyncrasies, and have been raised that way all of their lives.

//we don't need no tenses!

spanglish is just word swapping by people who were educated in english speaking schools and raised by spanish speaking adults

The environment does play a role - but, if he didn't speak Spanish at all, he wouldn't conjugate his verbs properly when he switched codes. And, if he didn't speak English properly... well, you get the picture.

Originally posted by Slylee i have blonde hair and i'm fair skinned with some light freckles and i've had MANY cubans speak to me in spanish and assumed i was cuban when i was living in miami. i thought they were nuts assuming i was spanish, but they would explain that there are a lot of light skinned/freckled cubans or argentinians too, which i didn't know.

There are also hispanic people from Chile, Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Uruguay, Paraguay, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, etc, who look just like you.

Pretty much every latino country.
