That is how soaked in racism Mock Spanish is. But, even if a better keyboard were designed in Mexico, they would never call it “El Keyboard” – because “el” marks it as Latino and to Anglos that means it is not to be taken seriously. For example, a company might sell a keyboard as “Das Keyboard” to point out its fine German engineering. Hasta la vista, baby (See you later, baby) means “See you never, dickwad”.Īnglo Americans do not do this to all languages.nada (nothing) means “absolutely nothing”.mañana (tomorrow) means probably never, like the Anglo stereotype of Mexicans as lazy.El presidente (the president) means like the Anglo stereotype of a Latin American president.macho (male) means like the Anglo stereotype of a Latino male.Pejoration – where Spanish words are given worse or less serious meanings, often in line with Anglo stereotypes about Latinos.Uses bad words – like “cojones” and “caca”, in completely inappropriate settings, like news headlines in The Economist.Anglos murder Spanish yet judge Latinos on their English. Uses bad grammar – like “No problemo”, “mucho macho”, “Buenas días” and “Nuevo Catholics”.That is how vaquero became buckaroo, vamos became vamoose, how Anglos came to change the first vowel in Los Angeles and San Francisco – and drop the “c” from Tucson. Hyperanglicization – where Spanish words are made more English-sounding than necessary.The disrespect is not imagined – it is built right into Mock Spanish:
