Knowing multiple languages is useful for various reasons. Speaking more than one language opens doors by making it easier to connect with others, whether personally or professionally. It's also proven helpful time and time again for catching people talking s**t, making them look doubly bad when they realize they 1) got caught red-handed behaving poorly and 2) didn't even consider that the target of their insults could understand them in a language that isn't English.
Reddit user u/FastManner8680 took to r/AmITheAsshole to ask whether a situation in which they complained about coworkers being rude in Spanish led to a colleague being fired. The key here is that the rude colleagues simply didn't realize the user, who writes that they are from Peru and speak Spanish, could understand them. According to Forbes, the United States boasts the second-largest population of Spanish speakers globally; 13 percent of the country's population speaks the language at home. It shouldn't surprise anyone that others around them can speak Spanish, and it's insulting to use a language you think someone else can't understand to say mean things about them.
It's incredibly embarrassing for them, but they deserve to be called tf out.
It was Reddit user u/FastManner8680 who took to the 'Am I The A-Hole' community to ask if they were in the wrong for not telling her coworkers that she could actually understand them all along. Oh, boy.
It's definitely such an embarrassing mistake to assume someone only speaks English because of their skin color. Latinos come in all shades, and even if you're not Latin, plenty of Americans learn Spanish in school.
