    It's like an offensive fictional depiction of a Latino stereotype in a poorly written novel.

    "How do I let the reader understand this character is Cuban? I know, I'll have them randomly interject in Spanish when speaking English, a totally real thing people do"

      I know, I’ll have them randomly interject in Spanish when speaking English, a totally real thing people do”

      Tbh I have friends who are native Spanish speakers that do this, but it doesn't sound like what's in the OP at all

    I was checking that sub earlier and it seemed like the posts that were in Spanish were making fun of the protestors, like not always in nice ways one was just calling them all dumb and fat in Spanish, and all the English ones were this shit over and over.

    I wonder if that has changed now lol

    Edit: yeah you can watch the posting swap from majority Spanish to English over the course of today, as well as the amount of upvotes, and the way they're talking about the situation

    Two of the top posts are literally the same one but one in English and one in Spanish depicting some brutality that I don't know the context of

    It's almost like they know conditions in Cuba will improve if the blockade is lifted, and it's not "corruption" or "authoritarianism" that's the problem.

    eh a lot of native spanish speakers speak spanglish like this in PR, to varying degrees, but they’ll never, like, insert a single word in spanish and then a paragraph long english sentence.

            lmao literally never heard anyone say descaro in conversation. I don’t know what the fuck she’s trying to say but she’s definitely not even using the word correctly.

              Eh, maybe a lot of people do, spanish is really variable, in my region it would sound ridiculous, correct, but weird.

                Just saying, in PR (that pretty much speaks Cuban Spanish), I've never heard it said this way.

      The only thing that everyone agrees on across the spanish speaking world is that whatever puerto ricans are speaking, it has nothing to do with spanish. Cubans and DR have legitimate dialects. PR is an abomination.

    "Cubans want liberty, not an end to the embargo"

    Can't condense liberalism down to one sentence better than this. You don't have a problem with the fact that there is not enough food or vaccines going around, your main concern is that it's not the market deciding who does and doesn't get it.
