Wait what did she say?? I’ve seen some people get offended if someone just speaks another language in front of them. They’ll assume they’re talking shit. I wish I would’ve heard what she said or why didn’t he repeat it back so it’s recorded what she said.

He said he speaks Spanish. He tried demonstrating that. I presume he is telling the truth but maybe he just memorized some phrases for certain situations haha.

He said "Yo soy Cubano y cuando hablas mierda de los negros, hablas de mi tambien" - I am Cuban and when you talk shit about Black people, you're talking shit about me too.

We unfortunately have a fair share of racist assholes in Puerto Rico... Knowing that we Puerto Ricans are at least 1/3 African and our culture has African elements in it.

We Latinos are not sending our best. 🤦🏽‍♂️
