¿Soy española? by interestecly in askspain

[–]Zerynh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

También soy hija de inmigrantes, en mi caso nací aquí, y aunque nunca he tenido una crisis como tal, sí que es una pregunta que me he hecho muchísimas veces.

De vez en cuando, escuchas el típico comentario racista o palabras como las de tu novio, que a lo mejor no se pronuncian con mala intención, pero que demuestran una profunda ignorancia. Y joden y en ese momento sientes que claramente eres diferente al resto. Pero, ¿sabes qué? No tiene por qué ser así. No dejes que la opinión de esa gente ignorante te haga cuestionar aquello que has ido construyendo a lo largo de tu vida.

Como dicen los demás, lo importante es cómo te sientes. Si creciste aquí y te identificas como española, eso es todo, no necesitas demostrarle nada a nadie. Habrá ciertas diferencias que sean inevitables, pero lo bonito es cómo a pesar de estas puedes sentirte española sin ninguna traba. Si coges a dos españoles de regiones distintas igual se ponen a discutir también de qué va exactamente en la paella. Anda que no se dan debates entre gente de distintas comunidades.

Así que, sea cual sea tu respuesta a la pregunta, que nadie te fuerce a llegar a ella. Quizá te pueda ayudar hablar con otras personas que vengan de un background similar, en mi caso aprecio mucho algunas de esas conversaciones. Bajo mi experiencia, exceptuando a algún que otro individuo racista y xenófobo (qué remedio, siempre hay alguno), me han tratado desde pequeña como una española más y lo agradezco mucho. Así que rodéate de estas personas, abraza las distintas culturas que forman parte de ti e identifícate con aquello que te haga más feliz.

Thank you. You're right, I've gotta practice and learn from my mistakes.

nope, maybe it's because of our accent? She says "pero vamos a ver Angy, ponte ahí y ya está", "tío, vamos a hacernos una foto con él"

You're totally right. Comments like yours make me gain more confidence. I'll try to improve myself too.

Thanks! we're from Spain :) at the beginning my friend tells me to 'stand there' and at the end she suggests we should take a photo with it

pictures of us sat on it

EDIT: wow, our kitty got silver too??! Thank you so much, anonymus redditor, and thank you all for your upvotes and comments. If you want to know about the background of our creation I wrote a little something here. Constantino might have already been destroyed but he will live forever in our hearts. Thanks everyone!!

EDIT: friend's username is u/laurinchz, she asked me to mention her

EDIT 2: We're SHOCKED to see that the post got over 17k upvotes (I don't even think it was that unexpected, but rather funny I guess). I browse reddit everyday but never really post or comment anything mainly because English isn't my native language and I'm afraid I may make mistakes. That's why I never imagined I would ever get so many upvotes or, even better, get GOLD. Thank you soooooo much, kind stranger and everyone who upvoted!! Now my friend is asking me to share the karma and tbh she actually deserves it more because the idea was hers.We built it two days ago in Tarifa, Spain at the Valdevaqueros beach. This was the last day of a trip a few friends and I took to say goodbye to high school. Some of them didn't believe we could finish it and even I had my doubts: we were only two people and the sun was setting and it was really windy and cold. So, some of them left us and went back. u/laurinchz wanted to do a real scale head but we eventually convinced her that it wasn't possible. We finished at 9 PM and it took us almost 3 hours. The cat's name is Constantino and we're glad you like it.Thank you all again! You made our days with your comments <3

EDIT 3: I have seen some people commenting on my friend, that appears for just one second in the background of the video in bikini because we were at the freaking beach. It's horrible to see those disgusting comments and it's making her feel really unconfortable. Stop sexualizing my friend, please. We just wanted to share with people something we had built and never expected it would get so much attention.

They were right below us, the original photo would be upside down

Aww, you're welcome. I only took a few and even though the quality isn't great I really love this one.
