I had to write this one in- Maria's past student, Mickey, is back in Alicante and was supposed to come over for dinner today but changed his plans to tomorrow and will now be bringing a friend.
Maria just came to my room and asked, "Hay muchas negros en Estados Unidos?" -Are there many black people in America?
I told her it depended on the region: south and east yes there's a lot but in Colorado no not really. She told me that's what she thought: many in the south...
But anyhow, she explained, Mickey is going to bring a friend tomorrow but he didn't specify who. She said it didn't matter to her, but be ready, because, she doesn't know who the friend will be and he could be a negro! "Puede ser. No me importa, me da igual, pero puede ser. Ya veremos."
God I love how innocently and ignorantly racist Spaniards are. They don't have any idea that what they say could possibly be inappropriate.
But then again, that begs the question: Shes completely fine with black people so; is it wrong to prepare to have one in your house? -actually ya. thats kinda wrong, but funny as hell.
