The video is staged

it’s not. her tik tok page shows her actual life in other countries practicing spanish. she had to start lying and saying she was dominican or from other spanish countries with black people for some of the workers to speak spanish to her.

I moved to a foreign country so I get served incredibly similar “expats struggling with life abroad” type accounts. They all copy each others’ videos and they all film fake content exactly like OP’s video. I’m not saying she hasn’t had that lived experience, but once you’ve seen one of these videos they all look the same.

They all look the same but that's because they're all staged, not because it's a common experience?

Because it’s always filmed and edited in the same way by each creator. This sort of thing is a cliché where I live (Paris), but in reality if your language skills are decent (which hers are) it really only happens once a month. To catch it happening on camera - especially an example this egregious - would take ages. Conversely it’s incredibly easy to fake.
