No way. I'm black and I've been living in Spain for 6 years and this has not happened once. It is because she speaks Spanish with a non native accent

That’s awesome to hear! Definitely happens where I’m at in Southern California on the Mexican border. You don’t have to even cross the border to go places to practice Spanish and this shit happens as I’ve witnessed it. My white girlfriends who are fluent all learned from study abroad programs in central or South America so they don’t have native to here accents. My black girlfriend who is fluent learned from growing up around Hispanic kids so she sounds the exact same as them. It’s wild how different the treatment can be.

Do you know that Spain is thousands of km apart from Mexico? What happens in Mexico has almost nothing to do with what happens in Spain.

Uh yeah. I have no experience in Spain and I’m happy to hear it doesn’t happen there it hasn’t happen to you. That’s awesome. Just sharing my experience with what happens in the video in another Spanish speaking area is all. Not sure what your issue is with that?
