At the beginning of mean streets
I’ve seen this happen a few times. This lady was speaking broken English and this black Latina woman started speaking in Spanish to her and she acted surprised. It’s like when other white folks act surprised if a black foreigner speaks English well (especially when they come from an English speaking country). Gina wasn’t clocking her, she just smiled at her and continued to speak.

This isn't racism she doesn't look like the typical hispanic. This happens to me all the time. on the otherside of the coin it happens to my girl all the time but it's because she looks like a cac.

I'm saying though. Twitter will try to run with anything. It was an honest mistake, how is she supposed to know she can speak spanish? nikka Suits is one of my favorite TV shows and I didn't even know Laurence Fishburne's wife was spanish

Nah the reporter tried to clown her.

She started in English and then suddenly went to Spanish, thinking that this Afro-Latina Black Woman wouldn't understand a damn word or be able to reciprocate.
