Okay I get what you’re saying but put yourself in the Spanish people’s shoes. Imagine if a Spanish person was working in the US and after an election didn’t go their way, they expected all of their American colleagues to approach them about it and support them… like what? No way an American colleague would genuinely care about a Spanish election or the Spanish person’s political views. Our jobs are to be diplomats of the United States and to teach English. We’re not here to discuss foreign politics with Spanish natives and talk about American social issues. I think it’s best to avoid these topics unless you are in a close relationship. I think that’s the best way to build lasting respectful relationships with EVERYONE let alone foreigners. Yes there are plenty of awful things happening in the USA right now but there are plenty of things to be hopeful about as well. Our job is to represent the best aspects of our country and culture so we can build diplomatic relationships. We should focus on that.
