Meanwhile I'm nervous to tell the lady at my local truck "Bueñas noches mi amor, yo quero dos pollo y dos chorizo, solo cilantro no cebolla, y una agua de piña. Y una Pimienta serrano y cinco limones verdes." because I don't wanna be accused of cultural appropriation.
She speaks english and I already know that, so it feels weird.
Good going. You've ironically attracted all the monolinguals and white nationalists.
I mean, I have literally overheard a cruise ship 'tourist' disembarked in Cozumel, Mexico, loudly complaining about the lack of English speaking staff in the surrounding restaurants and stores.
The hilarious part is, just about every Mexican working in that part of the island speaks great English, since tens of thousands of cruise ship morons get offloaded in that same spot 6 days a week.
I've traveled all over this planet. If you're having actual, real problems communicating with locals, it's probably because you're an asshole.
Ah, it is so easy if you speak another language well (or are a non-native English speaker) to act as if you don't know English and avoid shitty people alltogether.
For what it's worth, I enjoyed this comic.
This is where I mention that for many, the border crossed them:

And the US was not great about it's treaty obligations, especially with regards to property rights.

Like the Brits that live or vacation in Spain and claim to not be foreigners there. 🙄
As a British immigrant who lives in Catalunya, so much this ... I live and work in Castilian, pay taxes, etc, but have precisely 1 British friend here because all the others have been unbearable.
I've been in Florida this week. I have a Hispanic name and a dark complexion, so they keep trying to speak Spanish to me.
I'm not bad, but every time its happened its while I'm dead tired and I think I just can't understand language for a second before I go
"Huh? Oh, uuuuuh, sorry. English please?"
Uber, car rental, hotel, doordash
Its great to be a native Spanish speaker in Miami
Shame I'm not that
If Tacos, burritos and quesadillas had Americanized names, what would they be?
I wonder if there’s a name for the behavior where no “alt word” is created.
“Bread” is “pan” in Spanish. We had cultural exchange, both had bread, and related the word. But America didn’t have tacos. So, we use their word.
If you imagine an industrialized nation meeting with a basic hunting tribe, the latter is going to be missing a LOT of words, and hence no matter the origins of their linguistic structure they’ll call a satellite a satellite.
Openwraps, Hail Marys and cheesebreads.
Why Hail Mary? Burrito means "little donkey".
Not an american, I did my best :
Tacos and Assorted other latin american foods? T&A, obviously.
Another bot account? What's with all these new accounts immediately spamming just the comics community?
Edit to specify: These accounts make ~~six~~ several posts in comics, then post a music video link in a different community.

Wow! What superb detective and deductive reasoning skills you have! You really cracked the case of the new account posting content to the Lemmy community.
Welp, thanks for the warm welcome to the community.
I thought you guys here were better than redditors but apparently not.
Man what's with all these new accounts defending themselves when they're mistakenly called out?
Welcome to the fediverse! Only slightly better in a few small ways than the alternative!
From what I've seen it's no better. Just another flavour.
another flavor is better than one, especially when that one has been astroturfed to hell.

You called out US in your post and it makes yankistanis really uncomfortable. Tale as old as the Internet.
And in a typical yankistani fashion, they call you bot, russian propagandists, tankie, or self loathing or something.
If it was reddit, they'd also add "you're on aMeRiCaN sItE" too.
Just know there are more of us who despise the hypocrisy that these snowflakes.
Oh no! Not more content! gasp
With loads of upvotes and comments too. Whatever will we do...
