      I mean that's kind of my point She came from a community that was, by and large, dirt poor and that had eaten tortillas as a staple food for generations and that's just how they said it

      It'd be kind of weird for me to treat her embarrassment as a "teachable moment" or to try to guide her onto the path of someday learning to say the word "tortilla" correctly, as though it actually mattered

      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

      Like, my immigrant parents were pretty bad about correctly pronouncing stuff from other languages - *not* just "white people" languages, any other language - and growing up I felt a lot of cultural cringe over that

      You get the same cringe factor if your parents grew up in some rural midwestern tiny town and then decided kids would have more better opportunities if they moved to a big eastern city.

      The thing I've actually had a lot of difficulty admitting is that while there are huge, major differences that matter a lot, there are also ways in which my life and the life of someone from a redneck family who went to a fancy college aren't THAT different

      I mean don't get me wrong I hated growing up among conservative provincial religious white people I'm still mad about it today I was fucking FURIOUS about it after Trump won the election I don't actually forgive any of the people who were assholes to me

      But I remember going to a fancy college thinking it was an escape, that I'd be among "my people" ("Dream of ivy covered walls and smoky French cafes", as Veronica says in Heathers) By which deep down I really meant cosmopolitan, bourgeois white people

      And learning that these people were, in fact, NOT my people was a pretty bitter fucking pill to swallow As was learning that the cosmopolitan, bourgeois Chinese-Americans weren't really my people either

          Yeah they've all got parent's credit cards backing up that lifestyle. I definitely didn't!

          .....still glad I got out of Tennessee. "My people" in 1981 turned out to be the other refugees on the Island of Misfit Toys known as early East Village. Pre-gentrification

          And the frustration of knowing that however I perfected my English - the elevated form of English, not the redneck kind, the kind that smoothly peppers in French and Italian and Latin and Japanese loanwords, to signal that you're a citizen of the world - it wouldn't work

          There's more to being a citizen of the world than the lingo, and I'm never going to be that, I'm always going to have my very specific history written on my face and in my baggage
