You know what I mean, the hunger for authenticity, this sort of aggressive hunger to be cooler and realer and more with it than anyone else You think you're not being a tourist - desperate not to be one - but you are, you're being a worse tourist

Yeah, but I just don't think if you're from a culture where a thing has become native you're using a foreign word anymore. In Spanish the word "bistec" is a native word, but it's just a transliteration of "beef steak". It's not an English word anymore. Same with "tortila".

It'd probably be different if I were of Mexican descent rather than just a cultural liberal who saw "incorrect" Anglicized pronunciations as déclassé and cringe I dunno I'm not really condemning people who get mad about this stuff, it's just... not my thing

I guess part of this is my own lived experience of being corrected on language shit is having it directed against me pretty often and bristling about it in general
