I'm from Texas. Spanish is part of Texan culture, so even though I'm a white guy, there are Spanish words and phrases sprinkled throughout my vocabulary. That's how I grew up. What's so bad about that?Are more white people going to think twice before sprinkling in some Spanish next time they talk to a brown person? If yes, then this guy’s response was effective. The frame I would use is not (lame-ass whiny) victim versus dignified person as this article’s author would like to do. It is effective versus ineffective.
