I don\u2019t know Mexican slang. Colloquialisms, and words \u201cOh, what does this mean?\u201d Which I obviously learned over time, it was really frustrating. I don\u2019t [have to prove]. People would be like \u201cOh, then you speak!\u201d and I don\u2019t like speaking Spanish because one, I knew it was different Spanish and two, I feel like I\u2019m under a lot of scrutiny. For example, if [a lighter skinned person] were speaking Spanish and made a grammatical error, it\u2019s just like the way you\u2019re talking, whereas me making errors is lying or faking.&#8221; -HER<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Afro-Latin@s often speak of being &#8220;tested&#8221; on both their Latin@ and black identities.
