I speak Spanish, I have a fairly basic level of fluency but don't live there. People understand me and I can hold conversations but they call me gringo and they are not "nice" or welcoming about it.

I have very little attachments to where I'm from so that was the last straw for me. I don't identify culturally with where I'm from anymore.

Well that sucks, I'm sorry you got the other end of the stick.

It's not something to feel bad about it was just a defining moment at made me understand that despite being born there and living through my childhood it's not my home and these ppl aren't my people
