I went into the office and asked for them to print out my schedule and they spelled my last name wrong and said it out loud. I told them that it was a Z instead of the S like it is normally spelled in Colorado.
The fucking moron went on to say "Oh you guys names are normally spelled with the S." You guys? WTF? As if we are a Hispanic clan who live in the same house.
Anyways this was the most offensive thing ever. Everyone thinks because of my last name I am Mexican when I am actually fully PUTERO RICAN.
She was a grown ass woman and yet her Ignorance was just spilling all over the place. Ugh.
Well, to the OP, that is ignorance for you, but I definitely understand your frustration. Mexicans and Puerto Ricans are not interchangeable, but it is two different countries, and therefore two different cultures, who only share a common language. Also, for whoever said she looks "Hispanic", you can't really "look Hispanic", because Hispanic/Latino is a culture, not a race on it's own.

This is quoted for truth.
However, this chick seems to be overreacting. You can expect most Americans to be somewhat ignorance of cultures that aren't their own.
My last name isn't even common at all hahaha. It is just commonly misspelled. You are a fucking moron lol you have no idea what you are talking about because you don't understand simple words like "Ignorance" and "Assuming" Assuming is what offended me. That people assume isstead of asking when clearly they aren't going to spell it right.

They didn't even insult you, its sad how easily people get offended by that crap. S is more Mexican. Z is Putero Rican, and it came from Spain. IGNORANCE: the lack of knowledge or education The bitch is lacking knowledge, or choosing to act like she is lacking it if she really thinks that every hispanic person must have come from Mexico.

See what I did there? Stereotyping with the race. A persons name means a lot, especially when my name is constantly being spelled incorrectly no matter how many times I repeat myself. It is insulting for someone to say what they did NOT because they were calling me Mexican, like I said IF YOU READ IT THE RIGHT WAY. You would see that I said that they act as if my last name is SUPPOSED to be spelled with an S, and their way of apologizing for the screw up was "You guys normally spell it with an S." If you see nothing wrong with that you have a fucking problem. I already correcting it, and I am not bitching about it, I was LAUGHING at the ignorace that fills the world.

Would you still feel that way if someone assumed your name was like "Laquisha" and when you corrected them they said " Oh you guys usually have ghetto names."

Easy enough to understand right? I don't LOOK hispanic, I look WHITE but just because my last name I get treated and I am constantly bveing called Mexican. Ignorance is too popular, and obviously you are full of it.

Well, you are a different race living here. You guys, meaning not white. Pretty simple.
If you could read you would be able to see I clearly understood what the idiot said, obviously making it simple to understand that her tiny hick mind couldn't possibly think to ask the person to spell the name before jumping to conclusions let alone act as if every hispanic person with a similar last name as me must be part of my clan or something. It is insulting.
Not to mention what do you MEAN a different race living "here". This is America, there are fucking all types of races and last names are important to people.
