- Every couple of months we get a xenophobic rant gone viral. Why do so many people get angry when people speak Spanish? What makes someone an "American?" Why do Pattys suck so much?

English isn't even an American language. It's a European language. Speaking American would be something like speaking Cherokee, Navajo, or any Inuit language. These languages originated in the Americas. So, does that means we should all be speaking native american languages only?
And nahuat if you go down to Central America and many many MANY other native (the whole continent) american languages. ..
@@aBrownAmerican but that's what I am saying. The Native Americans were here first. They were here before the Europeans came over. Their languages existed for thousands of years before English, Spanish, French, German, and Dutch.
@@aBrownAmerican Also, there are different types of American English, not just the appalachian English, or Southern American English. And even in Southern American English, there are divisions, variations, and different dialects. Also, in the Midwest alone, there are so many different dialects and variations in the Inland North American accents, and the Midland accents. You've got the Chicago accent, Milwaukee, the Fargo accent in the upper Midwest, different accents in Missouri, and there's even the famous "Yooper" accent from Michigan. Oh, and let's not forget the beautiful Chicano accents, African American Vernacular, and also Native American English . Please educate yourself, mate.
@@is_just_diana that too. America encompasses North, Central, and South American.
So goes for Spanish. It was imported to the Americas and imposed on the indigenous people.
I;m Venezuelan. My first day working as a night auditor at a hotel a couple came to check in at like 2am and they started yelling asking for someone who spoke american to check them in. Saying they didn't understand me (they clearly could). I told them to sit in the lobby until 9am when the manager came to work but she was Mexican so they might have to wait even longer. Suddenly they were able to understand me and got checked in with no issue. Racist people be racist.
Jaja, ¡épica réplica! but what a sad bunch of people.
Racists pricks! I’m so sorry!
George osorio no todos los mexicanos somos impuntuales!! (Yelling in Mexican >:V )
Que vaina vale jajajaja

Que gente tan idiota
The ironic thing is that Spanish was the first European Language that was ever spoken in what today is United States territory. When Ponce De Leon and his conquistadors came and founded Florida in 1512.
i get your point, but wouldn't Old Norse have been the first European language to be spoken in the Americas?
@@AmatureChicanoking indeed it was.
It would be Norse tho
@@AmatureChicanoking you guys are still making the same point
Enrique Shadovia no not really since that didn’t really settled in the Americas
"Speak American!!"
"I am!, Central and South American!!"

@@robloxrx2994 yeah, why would we change the name of the entire continent?

Living in Europe , by thinking of someone criticising anyone because the language they speak is just laughable.
Don't we do that too? (Sometimes as a joke but still)
Slavic language-> thieve/janitor
Nordic language-> probably gay
French-> definitely gay
Etc.
I'm a Venezuelan living in Germany, and I can assure you that it's almost the same. To see things different, you have to be on the foreign part. A German in Germany won't get criticized, but a foreigner, that's another story.
@@danielsalas9351 I lived 2 years in Germany as a foreigner as well, and now I live in France without speaking French. No one has ever called me out for not speaking the official language.
Oh, god, don't be so oblivious. Stop portraying "Europe" as a beacon of immaculate progressiveness for everything. First of all because not all European countries are the same, there are some that are very conservative, way more than the US, and that includes being more racist and xenophobe. And second of all because even in the most progressive ones there is quite a big load of xenophobes and xenophobic attacks. Just look at the rise of the far-right in politics. And third of all because even in countries that have more than one native language, some people would call out others for speaking a minority language of thei own country.
@@deepdarkmidnight what can I tell you, good for you, but just by watching the interactions and news each and every day, it's way broader picture than just our particular cases. Most immigrants get this type of treatment, I'm glad that you're not on of them though.
Joanna deserves more subscribers for her perfect balance of humor and seriousness
Agree! But she needs to upload more frequently for that :)
Seriedad? Por favor.... Es una locura que hay gente que dice esto. Mira donde trabajo el padre de esta mujer.

Te parece que una Venezolana pelirroja que vive en la EEUU con un padre que trabaja para el gobierno del mismo es represente del Venezolano típico?
Pregúntate porque los Venezolanos que critican a la izquierda siempre hablan perfecto Ingles y parecen Europeos?
Queen Reina yes yes yes!!!
Why?
Joanna can be funny but she is too hateful, USA is the best country, that's why everyone wants to come here. Let's not ruin America and respect it's people. So algún gringo hablará así de los latinos y hasta con groserías, lo calificariaos como hate speach. No seamos hipócritas. Si tanto te molesta la cultura americana y el presidente Trump, regresa a tu país o vete a otro lugar. Nadie te lo impide.
"Speak American"
Right, okay let me just work on my Dinè Bizaad, Nahuatl, Cree, Ojibwe, and Apache.
My apologies they're a bit rusty.
Awsamazing Eden not sure if you just playing or you’re just stupid fam 🤣🤣
also american native languages are Guaraní, Mapuche, Tehuelche, Charrua, etc.. from SouthAmérica natives.
Awsamazing Eden lmao!! This is what I always think when they mean American language. Some indigenous language, right? Oh, wait... they meant English? Well they can take their fucking English and Spanish back to Europe!

I am an American of Mexican heritage born and raised in Texas. I’m third generation and I don’t speak Spanish very well. I have the occasional encounter with ignorant white Americans who tell me to go back to “my country” because of my brown skin and Spanish name. But I have also encountered recent immigrants to the USA or Mexican citizens when I’ve visited family in Mexico who regard me with disgust and hatred and call me “pocho” because I don’t speak Spanish well. The hatred from both groups is just as bad as the other. I’ve had to defend myself from both groups. Not scuffles and rude remarks: actual fistfights with broken bones and lacerations.
Apparently, I’m not American enough to be accepted by some Americans and not Mexican enough to be accepted by some Mexicans. It would be great if I could be accepted or at least not harassed or talked down to by either group. I’d be content with at least not being harassed and talked down to by other members of “la raza”. The very same people who are always saying we need to ban together but then tell me I don’t fit the mold.
Duuuude same af.
Leandro Ramirez so you’re like Salinaaaas father ;)
Welcome to the club. I'm japanese brazilian, third generation.
Went to japan and actually had security guards following me...not exactly a warm "welcome back".
@@izukawa8575 This is a problem not very discussed yet. After century of immigration, when someone visits his ancestors home not being accepted is really sad. Stay strong, pal!!!
Learning Spanish is not hard. And if you get an immersing course in Latinoamérica for a few months you will finally find a link to your roots and what's missing. I'm a 5th generation british that only knew how to speak Spanish and found my own last name so foreing...I learned English and It helped me understand the world better. Not for other to tell me I belong but for me to understand my essence. Good luck and stop feeling victimized, learning spanish is your duty to your roots, you have just been complaining and ignoring it.
My response: “sori, sori, me no es piqui gringo.”
I'm going to try that if that happens to me 😂😂
You have to add an accent to read it properly and it's great
OMG! I almost pee myself. I will definitely try that next time. Because of course there will be a next time, unfortunately.
MELHOR COMENTÁRIO
But technically Spanish is also a gringo language since it originated from Latin in Europe lol
Do I see a Patty Rants in the near future?😱😂😂
What a great idea! Joanna could certainly get in the head of Patty. Oh, and Chris Rants don't count.
Patty rants bout MuricUh!
I’m from Slovenia and I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, since September. With my housband who is Argentinian. I am learning Spanish (it’s my 5th language, so I’m doing pretty well by now), but obviously after 5 months I’m not fluent yet. Since I live here, I’ve been attacked 3x already for speaking English to my housband on the street - it’s just how we speak, it’s his second language and my 4th so it’s not like it’s the most comfortable thing in the world for us to speak English, BUT it’s the only language we have in common. I’ve been called names, people shouted at me to go back to my country and stuff like that. So this happens EVERYWHERE. And it’s unacceptable.
Oh my God, I'm so sorry for you. I really hope people in here learn how to treat you respectfully. It is not acceptable
narella amaya it’s for sure not as bad as spanish speaking people have it in the USA, that’s for sure. And there’s WAY more nice people than people like that so I just remind myself of that 😊
Unfortunately there is tons of idiots in Buenos Aires too, so sorry this happened to you, have a nice stay!
come to uruguay you wont have that problem
That's kinda more historical since UK took Argentina's islands ( Malvinas or Falklands) so they got a bit of hate in English speakers AND also because USA raised the dollar value and that made Argentina be broken as HELL (almost turning into a Venezuela economically and socially)
Hugs and kisses from Brazil
Years ago I was walking in a South Florida mall with a friend of mine who was born in Czechoslovakia. She complained about these darn kids (about 5-10 years younger than us) speaking Spanish. "Why couldn't they learn English like her?". I promptly pointed out that they were just talking amongst themselves and it was likely they could speak English when conversing with anglophones. I reminded her that she often spoke Czech with her parents and asked how this was any different. And my last comment was to point out that they weren't even speaking Spanish; it sounded like Haitian French Creole to me! :) Ah well.
Anyway, my point in recounting this story is that sometimes the xenophobes are themselves immigrants.
P.S. It's extra ironic when talking about anti-immigrant sentiment to be using the term "Patty" (or "Paddy"), considering the experience of Irish-Americans.
Your friend is a patty
Like when I used to work at the airport (full of foreigners!!!) with a bunch of Macedonian immigrants who used to go mental at customers speaking Chinese in the queue....
People from east Europe are quite racist. During the world match of football soccer in Russia was this kind of campaign about Russian woman to don’t have sex with foreigners in order to don’t lose the “purity of the blood” in case they got pregnant.
James Albright she learned English
and the worst xenophobes for Spanish speakers are descendants of Latino parents
You used Denmark’s flag for Switzerland. And South Africa has 11 official languages.
It's Savoy's flag, actually. The Danish flag isn't symmetrical. Which is worse because Savoy doesn't even officially exist right now. Like, how did she even find that flag by accident?
Denmark has the nordic cross in it's flag (Y)

Joanna trying to be educational and start a discourse but having to contain her anger and cursing is me always
Funny thing is that xenophobia is not only seen in the US but in Latin America as well. As a Venezuelan living in Argentina I've never been a target of xenophobic comments but I do know of other people that have, maybe not in Argentina but in Panama, Chile, Ecuador. Why is that? We speak the same language, we come from the same people, we have the same founding fathers. We did not ask to be pushed out of our homes because of a dictatorship, we're only looking for a better lifestyle.
Maybe because Venezuela is a mestizo country while Argentina is mostly of pure European descent. Many Argentines don't like hang around mestizos out of racism.
@@robiking011 actually Argentinians are very welcoming. This is also a country built by immigrants and they get that. But in Ecuador and Panama the level of targeted xenophobia towards Venezuelan is outrageous
Alexis R Castañeda En Ecuador a existido bastante problemas con los Venezolanos. En estas últimas semanas hubo el incidente de la chica que fue asesinada. Otro incidente de una chica venezolana hablando mal de los ecuatorianos en un videos. Inclusive Venezolano burlándose del físico de los Ecuatorianos. Sé que no es correcto generalizar, no todos los venezolanos son malos y no todos los ecuatorianos son buenos. La xenofobia ha crecido por esos motivos nombrado y por más. No son todos que piensan de esa manera.
Alexis R Castañeda Hi, thats interesting. Especially when you realize that ecuador,panama,colombia and venezuela were all part of the same country once and thus have very similar cultures and peoples
Argentina has the 2nd largest population of immigrants in the world (right behind the U.S.!!!) It's super diverse, I'm glad they're being welcoming to you :)
Me encantó la aclaración de que América es todo el continente! Odio que le digan América cuando hablan de EEUU!
Y amé que hayas puesto un uruguayo!!! Uruguay noma! Jajaja

That's so true
No No
Well usually Hispanics come to the US to settle permanently, unlike Americans touring LATAM countries.
Alexander Gonzalez don’t be so sure. In Mexico the biggest group of migrants are in deed Americans. Most of them are retired people living illegally, and without the will to learn spanish.
As an European living in South America, I can say that it is not better at all on this side of the world. First, when I arrived there was no day when I didn´t get a patronizing advice "You should learn Spanish" which with time changed to "You have to speak Spanish better if you want to live here". And once I spoke well enough to communicate in the professional situation people sill would openly mock my accent in the business meetings!!! ;(
That's really sad! Which country/countries did you go if I may ask?
I'm sorry u had to go through that. That's unacceptable
Es inaceptable :(
Las Pattys solo son metidas, les enoja no saber qué está diciendo la gente que habla en otros idiomas y les da pánico que estemos hablando de ellas, como si no tuviéramos nada mejor que hacer

Kris calming Joanna down is the kind of friend I need in my life
Me encanta tu explicación!! Estás en lo correcto, America es un continente, no un país. Me molesta cuando los estadounidenses dicen: This is America !! Cuando se refieren a EUA, todos somos Americanos por estar en este continente!!
Saludos desde Mexico 🇲🇽 👋
Estoy de acuerdo 😁
América é um país e um continente. Não força a barra.
Se estadounidenses se chamam de americanos, quem são estrangeiros pra ensinar a eles como chamar seu próprio país?
"Somos más americanos" de Los tigres del norte, versionada por la banda Argentina 2 Minutos.
Joanna's not even consistent about the use of "America" in English-- she has a video called "It's already hard to immigrate to America". What we can definitively say is that América is a continent, but America sin tilde can sometimes be a country. I just don't want to hear people say "This is America!" in that kind of tone...
I think patty is the type of person that will tell you to stop filming or she will sue you, your mother and your grandma
After watching this I just want to go to Tulio's house so he can cook for me hahaha
My ex roommate used to say this to me as a “joke” whenever I spoke spanish to my friends and she was around the house. Until one day she told me “I just want you to speak English because I’m insecure and I think you’re talking about me.”
This answers your question Joanna.

Qué buen botija, aunque soy igual de inútil en el fútbol jajaja

Juan noma que no ni no!!!!
When I travel to the US, and go to a public place, I speak spanish decently loud on purpose to see if someone pulls a "Patty" on me
What do you gain with that? More ego?
I gain my freedom of speak in whatever language I want without feeling afraid of hateful people, and feel reassurance of being surrounded by respectful people. And of course, I feel very very proud of being latina and my language, as most of us are. I get if you don't understand my first statement, but I won't be sorry about it.
I'll do the same if I ever go to the States, if they address me I'll answer with my best English pronunciation possible and sounding like I feel pity for them 'How many languages do you speak? only one? I speak 3 (or 4)'
Andrea C.I.C. SAME!!!

"go back to spanisha" had me dying
As always, you bring us an excellent portrait of a topic that needs to be addressed. Thanks Joanna for keeping it real.
in India there are so many languages...first you learn the regional and the mother-tongue then you learn any language that is widely accepted and of course English too...and if you are interested in other languages that adds 3 to 4 more to the list...well i'm happy you mentioned India! lots of love from here.
Kris sounds like those two crabs from Finding Nemo "HEY HEY HEY" 😂😂
Gracias!!!! My biggest pet peeve is when people from USA saying this is America, only referring to the US like Canada and every country in South America is not part of America. Eso y el hecho de que no haya una palabra en inglés para estadounidense, ellos simplemente se apropian de “american” cómo si el resto no lo fueran
Be honest, muchacha, no one from Mexico, Venezuela, Chile, Argentina, Canada etc. wants to be called American.
Ocasionalmente suelo llamar "unitedstateans" a familiares y amigos que viven o son originarios de los Estados Unidos, para ver cómo reaccionan. Algunos lo toman a bien e incluso les parece interesante, otros inmediatamente me corrigen.
@@andrescampos2382 to begin with, "unitedstateans" is not a word, so yes, people will tend to correct you
@@saxcoltrane touche
Same!! I actually remember the moment I discovered that there was no English word for "estadounidense". I was wirting an essay for school and I thought that maybe my dictionary wasn't good enough, because there was no way that they used an entire continent as their own nationality. Oops.
Whenever someone tells me that or something about how you should speak the language of the country you're living in, one of my go to responses is, "Oh then you must be fluent in Navajo, Cherokee, Maliseet or one of the many other languages spoken by members of the Great Native Nations.".
Also it looks funny when they come up to me because I'm 6'5 (without my Afro). It's like a Chihuahua trying to take on a Mastiff.
Goddess bless you for making this video, I aaalways rant about exactly these things and now someone important finally says it! THANK YOUUUUUUU!!!! 😍😍😍
When you translated the names of states my mind was actually blown
drslinkyblue1 I knew most of those but the Florida one shook me
This is just sad
There are many states with Spanish names.....California, Texas ( tejas, the red tiles of spanish colonial houses). Oregon, its a spanish last name; Colorado (a shade of red) And those cities that used to be part of Mexico 🇲🇽 and Spain🇪🇸
Then, check these ones:
"Los Angeles" -> "The angels"
"Las Vegas" -> "The meadows"
Plus probably dozens of saints:

San Bernardino
San Luis Obispo

OMG!! you got me screaming "yessssss!!!" when you showed America, like omg!! America is a continent, not a country!
amo tus videos y eres demasiada inspiración Joanna!!!
Brilliant video, Joanna: I completely agree with your messages. Keep up the great work!
I don't understand when people insist English is spoken in their present. Like, were you trying to eavesdrop?
Exactly! They honestly think they're important enough for complete strangers to be talking about them.
Loved the part when you mentioned that America is the whole continent 💜
I was born in the USA, first language is English but I am fluent in Spanish and functional in Portuguese. ( In fact I have an undergrad degree in Spanish). I have loved maps since I was little. I remember being 4 or 5 and after studying maps of North and South America, I was very bothered that "American" to most people meant from the USA. In my mind American should refer to anyone from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego.
I wish there was something less cumbersome than "United States-ian" the Spanish "estadounidense" sounds okay. I really don't like "North American" because that is Canada, USA and Mexico.
I have read articles on why it came to be that American meant US. For the first 100 years or so people thought of themselves as from their state. They were "New Yorkers" "Virginians" "Californian""Mainers" etc. People referred to the US in the plural they said "The United States ARE" not "The United States IS" .
You're hilarious Joanna! Love the video. As a swiss fan I'd like to tell you though that the flag at 2:45 is the danish and not the swiss flag😝
Thank you pal
Joanna this is the very first time I’m watching your video and I liked how you explain our American brothers and sisters about our culture and remove ignorance from their minds
I gotta say, I love freakout videos. Just makes me feel better about myself I guess... or maybe they’re just having a bad day. Either way it’s fun to laugh at.

whaaaaaaaat??
Aaand enter antisemitism
I think I found the video... and Im honestly lost for words.
It appeared on my recommendations too but I decided not to watch it. Seriously those people don't deserve the views
Yeah i saw It, it's very retarded i dont recomend anyone to watch It.
I personally think that we shouldn't force others to speak our language. Don't be jerks like the French, just if you notice that they speak English, speak English to them, if they speak Spanish, speak Spanish to them. If you can' understand, a simple "Sorry I don't understand you" or "Sorry I don't speak Spanish" is enough. You don't have to tell other people shit they probably already struggling with (learning English). I know that it's hard for older people to learn new languages because I used to translate for my parent as a child. The thing we should also realise is that the lingua franca of USA is English, wether it's official or not, so it's better if people use English. My parent don't expect everyone to speak Polish to us, and neither new Immigrant from the South should.
well tell that to all the banks, institutions and government agencies that do provide everything on Spanish already... there are cities that were made by Spain, were part of Mexico and probably due debt became part of USA, and guess what during all of those 3 hundred years people spoke Spanish in those places
"Don't be jerks like the French" lol that reminds me of this long haired German dude (I forgot his name) who created a funny skit about ordering in English in France and the waitress responded in French even though she understands English.
Don’t be jerks like the French
Thank you…. I’m French, but thank you

Joanna, you are very relatable.
I am not even in the United States and this ticks me off like a mofo.
Creo que tiene mucho que ver con la identidad, el grupo, y la tendencia de los gringos de ver todo en función de "nosotros vs ellos". Leí un artículo que decía que era la forma de mantener a todos los estados juntos cuando se formó el país, generando una amenaza invisible contra la cual todos los estados se podían unir (América contra Inglaterra, democracia contra monarquía, blanco contra negro, basketball contra béisbol, DC contra Marvel, puedo seguir insertando cosas pero creo que ya de entendió) Y ahora que llegamos los latinos las pattys del norte pueden sentir que les estamos robando su identidad. Porque ... Si nosotros también somos americanos, que carajos las hace especiales y únicas a ellas? Rompemos el molde de identidad si somos lo mismo pero no igual y eso las hace sentir amenazadas y reaccionar con ira. Pidiendo que nos volvamos cómo ellos o nos vayamos donde no puedan vernos.

I wish Joanna is heard speaking Spanish by one of these dudes and they tell her those things so she can best the sh1t out of them with intelligence, facts and in English so they'll bite their own tongue. And i wish Kris is there so he can film it.
The irony is that this debate is all kind pointless because the U.S. is still the graveyard of languages and with immigration from Spanish speaking countries stalled or in decline, Spanish will join Italian, German, Polish and the many other languages that were forgotten in the U.S. as time went on. If you look at the the prevalence of speaking Spanish among hispanic families, there is a huge decline among generations born in the U.S., where by the 3rd generation English is the dominant language for 99% of them, and by the 4th generation only an small minority are even bilingual. America will become browner in the future, but the language will still be the same.
Hey Joanna, this was awesome! Actually, my parents once got told to speak 'white'! To be fair, we are Chilean and were living on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada :) So guess what, if my mum was not crazy about the 'gringos' before, you can bet she never forgave them for that, oh and also the tellers at the bank laughing at her broken English when she was trying to open a bank account...Good times. I believe in Karma ;) So, Cheers from Québec(the French speaking Province of Canada)
i needed this
2:45 that's not the Swiss flag haha
Ella dijo Switzerland
Swiss es el gentilicio de Switzerland. Es como decir bandera "brasileña" o "española". Y no, no es la bandera de Suiza, Suiza es toda roja con un símbolo + en el medio (no llega hasta los bordes, que yo sepa)
haha it's the Danish flag
@@djsmack1 es obvio
NEWSFLASH !!! thts so true bout venezuelans
NEWSFLASH !!! Patty relax gurl !!!
As soon as that guy said venezuelan my immediate thought was he was going to feed people. Before he even said it.
@@nfcapps lol ikr?
I think what she's really afraid of, is that we say "ajá" instead of yes or si. That's just terrifying
Amazing! Just your best video!
I don't think these people are afraid of anything personally yo creo que lo que tienen es rabia por no poder entender lo que decimos and so it makes them unable to chismear como las viejas chismosas que son que en todo quieren estar, todo quieren saber de la gente. I honestly think that's the only reason why they get so damn mad, that and also because they're super fucking racist. I'm sorry pero esque tambien me da coraje esa gente ignorante!
Tal vez tienes razón. Lo que pasa conmigo cuando escucho idiomas distintos de mi idioma materno es que me da mucha curiosidad. Quiero saber que idioma es, quiero saber si es un idioma que estoy estudiando y, si si lo es, hasta que punto puedo entender la conversación. Pero ojo, que no es el contenido de la conversación en si mismo que me interesa sino poner a prueba mi capacidad de entender un idioma que, pese a que no me sea totalmente "ajeno", me sigue siendo menos familiar, menos obvio, que mi idioma materno. El español es uno de aquellos idiomas "extranjeros" que me dan mucha curiosidad.
Whyyy do have to mix Spanish and English? Do one or the other, but not both at the same time, please. It's very confusing. :(
@@gillescailot4666 exacto eso no es problema y entiendo esa curiosidad pero yo me refiero a las personas que quieren saber absolutamente todo lo que habla la gente o peor aun las que creen que por estar hablando otro idioma significa que la conversacion y sobre ellos.
@@carlosmunoz7118 it's simple my friend. I do it porque puedo y por que se me da mi regalada gana. Joanna mixes English and Spanish too porque haci es como hablamos!
Unfortunately, it's something that can happen anywhere. I was with other exchangers walking in the streets of Mexico City, speaking Portuguese, when this guy turn to us and screamed "You are in Mexico, you have to speak mexicanly".
Gracias, Joanna, por decirles que America es todo un continente!!!!!!
I love you burda, Joanna! What a nice video.
