I am half white half Mexican and I basically look white (compare Tony Romo as an example) and I don't know any Spanish. I am originally from a state (California) where it would be more common for those to know both English and Spanish. It wasn't until I moved out of state that I get asked if I speak it. It got very annoying that I would be asked this.

gave Spanish a negative association, because they only ever used it when they were arguing.
This, in addition to a ton of resentment toward my father, who was Mexican, pushing me away from the language in my most crucial formative years.

I know the syntax to an okay extent and with enough practice can speak it okay but I have a really hard time listening to Spanish. It sounds like the Charlie Brown parents and I just tune it out automatically, so it takes a ton of mental energy to be able to translate it in my brain.

It's just with Spanish, too. I've been "shopping around" trying to learn other languages and I do not have this problem with French, Italian, German, Japanese, and Russian, but they're a lot harder for me to grasp in general. It's dumb.

The funniest thing about giving people shit over this is someone who is ethnically Spanish probably wouldn't get nearly as much grief for not speaking their mother tongue while someone that is brown from Latin America would.

Ummm... WHAT? Second-hand embarazada?!? Dude, embarazada means PREGNANCY. You are getting a lot of second hand PREGNANCY from this topic? Look, I'm no expert on the birds and the bees and those storks carrying babies and stuff, but I'm pretty damn certain that you can't get pregnant from a topic. I don't think topics can get you pregnant.

how did the Spanish language end associated to brown people and Spanish-ness with them too?

if you think about it french is spoken in many African countries and some Caribbean vines such as Haiti. There are probably more black French speakers (including black French) than white French speakers. Countries such as Congo, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Niger, Chad, Gabon, the other Congo (yes, there are two Congos), Haiti and the Central African Republic all speak French.

yet french is seen as a white language, whereas Spanish is not.

@prideoflion

Excuse me, but you "feel" for people like me?
No, I feel for people like YOU.
I am Hispanic. I have NO desire to speak Spanish. I speak English. This is my choice. I am not bothering anyone else by only speaking English. If YOU have a problem with people like me then that is YOUR problem.
You very much remind me of this lady with the glasses in this video below. Or maybe you are more like this guy drinking from the cup in the video below. Probably both:

Oh...
Now I see why you made this topic...
"Son una Verguenza".... you are seriously calling Hispanics / Latinos who only speak English a disgrace. What the fuck is wrong with you?
It's not a "disgrace" if someone only wants to speak English.
What's a disgrace is people like you who try to shame and attack others over something that isn't harming anyone.
It's none of your business if someone wants to speak only one language.
You might want to watch this Youtube video below, very carefully.
You are acting like that lady with the glasses in this video below (That's not a good thing at all and you should seriously be a shame of yourself if you act like this towards others in real life. You would seriously be fired from most jobs if you started acting like this towards someone at your work place... assuming you haven't already been fired because of acting like this in real life).

I can speak Spanish since I came to the states when I was 10. However I've spoken English most of my life but I can still decently communicate in Spanish, thing is I have a noticeable accent when speaking English.

Yes, I agree that the TC is one of those due to creating this topic for the purpose of attacking others.
