Seriously, I’ve been called an ILLEGAL for being from a Spanish-speaking country and coming to the U.S. with paperwork. Also, my friend’s weird dad saw my name on a social media account when my friend was texting me and he said I was a “typical Mexican”. I am a white European Spanish woman, why do people assume I’m automatically Mexican?

      Where did I say or imply that Mexico and Spain were the only countries?

      Spain has a distinct accent if you are a Spanish speaker. If you don’t speak Spanish, it’s likely you wouldn’t know the difference between different Spanish language accents.
