I just saw a post on how using Spanish words and phrases like "el presidente" and "comprendre?" in English speech is racist. Because racist bosses used to say comprendre to Mexicans! And all the other times, it's being used by white people to mock Hispanic people. Because the only reason English speakers would use another language is to elicit schaenfreude from that culture. Otherwise, they'd use an English word with the same je ne suis que. Using Spanish words in such a blasé manner should be given the kibosh. A pogrom against words of foreign language in English, allons-y!
