The Race Card Project

One of the things that I find very annoying is when people say “Hola” right off the bat, “Si” or “Por favor, this”. Yeah I look like any other Mexican out there but I know English as well. Ditch the hola to not come off as patronizing and say “Buenas tardes” or buenos dias”. Doing that will show you are polite and you’ve made an effort to learn Spanish linguistic formalities.

I just moved to Paris, France from the United States. My mother is Brazilian but my dad is a blonde haired, blue-eyed American. I have brown hair and eyes, but I never thought I looked all that Brazilian in comparison to my family– but now that I live abroad, I’ve realized that apparently many people find my look enigmatic. I have only lived here for 3 months, but at least once every 2 weeks there is someone so curious about trying to figure out my ethnicity that they actually approach me and ask. It’s been the strangest but most fun experience of my life abroad.
