There aren't, and because there aren't everyone assumed I was super spanish.

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.

What does it mean when you say you're Spanish? Your parents are Spanish, you have a Spanish surname?

Forgive our traditionally intelligent friend, he knows what it means, he was just queueing up for a dig at me and my ancestry.

Marjin, My grandfather came from Spain, he was born there, and he set down in Miami. Since he left my English grandmother when my father was 2, I know little about the man. I've been digging to try to find out more about who I am, but to date, I know he died in Ohio, and that his name was William Molina.

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.
