It's funny, as I was resuming my normal day of stocking shelves there was a sudden epiphany that came to being. Because of my gel-like hairstyle and my moderately saggy pants, there are patrons who come up to me asking me random questions in Spanish. I usually scoff these individuals with a smug remark, such as "I don't speak espanyooooo" or better yet, "No habla ingles.", just to make it that much more hysterically funny.
However, the funny thing is that I noticed today was that white people approach me with the assumption that I don't speak ANY English. I don't know if it's because I'm a day laborer (I labor during the day.), my appearance, or perhaps both. You could tell by the manner in which they choose to converse with me. They have this way of speaking incredibly slowly and even go so far as using hand gestures to help the explain where "el bano" is. Trust me, you don't want to know what kind of hand gestures they come up with for that one. 
I guess there's something about me that really look immigrated. I just farted, I guess that's the Mexican part of me. The end.
