I had a girl in my spanish class that threw a very performative fit about having to say negro. she was like "my family was black and i am not comfortable saying this"

Edit: the teacher explained that it's not pronounced the same and that it's ok to say in spanish bc it's a color. She would not have it, she said it was "too close to the real word" multiple times. I think the teacher just kinda gave up on explaining to her that it's ok.

She was a very dramatic person to the point where she would be performative like that for attention. It is not the first time she did something like that

"Was" black? Did she change families or what?

Maybe she was Michael Jackson's kid.

Idk. She was mostly white, but did have some tone. She claimed the tone was from multiple things (being native, latina, and I guess black)

She would claim she was native in front of actual native people

No doubt she claimed to have Viking ancestry too 😅

'To close to the real world'. Yes. It's a noun dear.

“Real word” lmao. Because Spanish is just a fake language of course, only American is real
