I'd get all of my military paraphernalia in Spanish. I ended up not joining the military because all of their good points were in comprehendible.
There were two kids in my school with my last name, and he was ESL and his parents didn't speak English.
to this day I get the "you're Spanish?!?!?!?!" comment from dip****s who think we're all deep brown and dance to mariachi.

because people come to associate Spanish with Mexican and mestizo background. most intelligent people understand that Spanish is European in nature, not native Mexican.
i suppose the fact that most Spanish is spoken south of the border rather than across the pond can contribute to the misconception.
